<p>If you apply QUICKLY to the University of Alabama…send in scores, transcripts, etc, then the university will give you a full tuition scholarship for your stats. </p>

<p>The app is quick and easy…also submit the scholarship app. First you’d do the school app, then you’d get a follow up email with log-in instructions, then quickly fill out the scholarship app. </p>

<p>There are no essays or teacher recs needed. Both apps are easy to do…they take about 5 minutes.</p>

<p>You would get the Presidential Scholarship (full tuition) because your Math + CR is 1400+ and you have over a 3.5 GPA.</p>

<p>You need to apply quickly because Alabama requires that int’ls get ACCEPTED by Dec 1st. Alabama processes apps rather quickly, but int’l apps can take a bit longer since transcripts are coming from abroad and such.</p>

<p>What is your major?</p>

<p>PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLAR</p>

<p>An out-of-state first-time freshman student who meets the December 1st scholarship priority deadline, has a 32-36 ACT or 1400-1600 SAT score [critical reading and math scores only] and at least a 3.5 cumulative GPA will be selected as a Presidential Scholar and will receive the value of out-of-state tuition for four years.</p>

<p>I knew I had forgotten something, I’m planning to major either in Business Management or Computer Science, or ideally both if at all possible, but if not choose one depending on which is strongest in the school I get accepted to.</p>

<p>But, as mom2collegekids points out, a lot of these scholarships have early cut-off dates so you need to do the research very quickly and get those applications out NOW.</p>
