Scholarship Question

<p>"But read posts #15 & #17 first. I am totally shocked! The above posts suggest...."</p>

<p>My posts were a direct reply to Coldwind stating that a nice Jewish girl would be better suited at a school other than Alabama. </p>

<p>There is no need for prejudice on this forum. Lets move on PLEASE!</p>

<p>Ok, back to the full tuition scholarship. I'm pretty sure this question has been answered before, but I don't remember the answer. If I get say a 30-31 ACT my junior year, and a 31 is the highest score I can get by the time I send my EA app in like November or whatever the EA deadline is. So, I'd get the 2/3 tuition scholarship, and 1 ACT point away from 32, full tuition scholly.</p>

<p>So here's the gist of my question: If I can get a 32 ACT or break the 1400 SAT barrier, but in like January of my Senior year, will I be able to send those scores to 'Bama and they would raise my scholarship to full? Or do I keep the 2/3? </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>hawaiiboy, I would call the scholarship office at Bama for the correct answer to your question. Carolyn Rogers, Director of Scholarships phone is 205-348-5666.</p>

<p>The scholarships are automatic but you must apply and be accepted by I think Dec 1st (when I entered) and have like a 3.7 gpa. Alabama actually substantially increased the monetary amount of the automatic scholarships. It actually made me a little mad because they didn't offer that much when I entered, lol.</p>

<p>Honors classes come in two 'flavors'. You have honors sections: ex Chemistry 101 = 150 students vs Honors Chemistry 101 (designated CH 117) = 30-40 students. The material is tougher and sometimes professors more strict.
Then you have UH courses. These are limited to 15 students and range from virtually any topic you can imagine. There's a class called Witches & *****es (I think it takes Desparate Housewives and they analyze it amongst other pop culture). I will be taking a UH class where I help low income families prepare their taxes and another called Mentoring Entrepreneurs (did I spell it correctly) where I will be learning how to write business plans, pitch ideas, etc. Basically everything needed to go from idea to incorporation. I'm most excited about that class. I am also a chemical engineering major in the Computer Based Honors Program. The CBHP was one reason along with the very generous scholarship why I turned down Georgia Tech. I sometimes wish I did attend GaTech because I know the benefits it offers for engineer students are great, but I enjoy the demographics here much more and again, the honors classes. Besides, the dynasty has returned. I'm still convinced we beat ourselves against UF at the SEC championship. ROLL TIDE!</p>
