Students who submit an application for admission and official transcripts from all previously attended colleges are automatically eligible for consideration.

Scholarship Eligibility

Students must be seeking their first bachelor’s degree, must not have previously attended UAH or any other four-year institution, and must maintain full-time enrollment at UAH to be eligible for consideration.
