The Biggest
BY THE BEST

The National Alumni Association’s scholarship program, built through the dedication of alumni, friends and fans, stands as the largest alumni-based program in the nation, providing life-changing opportunities for students who are ready to make their mark at The University of Alabama.

Each year, more than $5 million in scholarships are awarded to UA Early College students, entering freshmen, and current undergraduate, transfer and graduate students. These awards help turn potential into possibility and keep the Bama tradition of excellence moving forward.

Member Legacy
Scholarships

Member-based scholarships are available to students whose parent or grandparent is a University of Alabama graduate and an active member of the National Alumni Association. These awards include options for entering freshmen, current undergraduates, and transfer students.

While these legacy scholarships honor alumni families, most National Alumni Association scholarships are open to all students. Nearly 3,000 students receive scholarship assistance through the program each academic year.
