TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Students who attend The University of Alabama’s Capstone Scholars Day on Saturday Jan. 19, will receive a renewable scholarship of at least $1,000 per year for four years, if the student maintains a cumulative 3.0 GPA at the University.
Students invited to participate in Capstone Scholars Day, the annual premier-recruiting event sponsored by Undergraduate Admissions for entering freshmen, earn priority consideration for a wide range of scholarships, including the top “Tier I” and “Tier II” awards, such as Presidential Scholarships.
To be invited, the student must be an entering freshman with at least a 27 ACT or 1200 SAT score and a 3.5 academic grade point average. The October ACT and November SAT results are the last scores accepted for Capstone Scholars Day consideration. The students also must complete the admission’s application by Dec. 1.
The Capstone Scholars Day activities introduce these high school students to academic and cultural aspects of University of Alabama life. Tentative activities include attending typical classes, discussing the students’ intended majors with representatives from UA colleges and schools, interacting with representatives from UA honors programs, and learning about Residential Life options.
Students may contact UA’s office of undergraduate admissions by calling 205/348-5666 or 1-800-933-BAMA or by sending an email to scholarships@ua.edu.
