New Automatic Merit Scholarships for U of Alabama

<p>Ok I sent my transcript, act, applied online, did the scholarship application. I have the honors college application done but do I submit that now or later?</p>

<p>As a (third generation!) graduate of UA (but my graduation roughly coincided with the rise of the dinosaurs), I am so happy to see that efforts are being made to attract more of the best and brightest students. My oldest son (who teaches HS senior english) says that UA is a school that many of his students are looking at and liking. He also attended UA for two years (had a music scholarship that covered OOS tuition), but transferred to UGA to get is English Ed. undergrad degree.</p>

<p>I can personally attest to the fact that the UA campus is fantastic and beautiful...and I personally like it much more than the UGA campus!</p>

<p>For those applying to the honors colleges---seems like there is no word limit on the essays---anyone have any thoughts on how long these should be? They say "short essays" but not sure what that means...</p>

<p>Does anyone know how University of Alabama compares with Auburn University, which offers a similar scholarship?</p>

What “bump” are u referring to? My daughter just got excepted to the honors program and I’m curious about what people are experiencing.
