Scholarships at University of Alabama at Birmingham

UAB awards this $4,000 per year scholarship to National Merit Finalists who name UAB as their first-choice college with the National Merit Scholarship Corporation after admission. The award stacks on university admission merit scholarships, but students may receive only one of UAB's national recognition scholarships and are given the highest amount for which they qualify. NMSC sends finalist rosters to UAB on a rolling basis beginning in early March. Recipients must maintain full-time undergraduate enrollment and UAB scholarship renewal requirements.

High school graduates and transfer students planning to attend UAB may be considered for the Alys Robinson Stephens Performing Arts Scholarship of up to $1,000 in any music discipline. No separate application is required. Scholarship consideration comes through a Department of Music faculty audition demonstrating substantial talent and promise for continued excellence in music. Audition on a major audition day by March 21 for scholarship consideration. Current UAB music students may also audition.

Admitted students who are candidates for an International Baccalaureate or Cambridge AICE diploma may receive a $1,000 per year UAB scholarship by applying in BSMART and submitting coordinator confirmation of diploma candidacy. If the student later earns the diploma, UAB automatically upgrades the award to the diploma holder amount. The scholarship stacks on admission merit awards but is mutually exclusive with other UAB national recognition scholarships. Recipients must maintain full-time undergraduate enrollment and UAB renewal requirements.
