<p>So I just got my acceptance to UA (:)) and I am wondering about when I will recieve the scholarship info. Anyone know?</p>
<p>edit: Oops! Just read that thread about turnaround info. Had it open in another tab as I typed this one! Sorry!</p>
<p>No problem… :)</p>
<p>I think you’ll hear very soon since all the testing dates have passed, therefore the school doesn’t need to hold back any awards to see if the student will score higher. </p>
<p>Are you going to apply to the Honors Programs? Are you familiar with them?</p>
<p>Have you visited the campus?</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>No I wasn’t planning on applying to the honors program. </p>
<p>Nope haven’t made the trip yet, but we’re already making plans to go as soon as we can. We’re all crossing our finger that I love it, because it would be so nice to graduate with little debt! :)</p>
<p>You definitely should apply to the Honors College!</p>
<p>You’ll definitely get into UHP. There are MANY benefits to belonging - including honors housing, priority registration, and honors classes.</p>
<p>Do you have any objections to applying.</p>
<p>^^^</p>
<p>I just wanted to clarify…</p>
<p>Classes in the Honors College are not more difficult. They are smaller in size and because of that, they’re often more discussion-oriented.</p>
<p>Hmm…I’ll go check it out. Doesn’t sound like there are any disadvantages to the honors program!</p>
<p>4bcd3f: Do apply for University honors. The classes, my son said, are wonderful. They max out at 15 students, so you will get to know your classmates and professors. My son took a variety of honors classes this fall, and he really enjoyed them. He’ll take two more in the spring. Also, I cannot say enough good things about priority registration. My son had a ton of AP/dual enrollment credit. He registered for spring classes the second day – with the kids who are juniors. So with priority registration, you should have no need to worry about closed classes.</p>
<p>Ok now I actually have a question!</p>
<p>I still have not gotten my scholarship letter, but I did receive an invite to the Capstone Scholars Day. So probably a dumb question but…
Is this day for all students getting scholarships? The name makes it sound as if it were for only those who received the Capstone Scholarship. I ask this because according to the scholarship page, I should be a UA Scholar.</p>
<p>And, if the answer to that ^ is yes, is this day worth attending? This happens to be during the weekend that I will be visiting Alabama and it would make sense to do the Scholars day.</p>
<p>No, Capstone Scholars Day is for top students that UA really wants. If one gets a merit scholarship, they will probably be invited. No additional scholarships are given this day. The name and day itself are somewhat of a holdover from many years ago when UA didn’t give out so many scholarships and students would get an extra $1-2k for attending. This is no longer the case, but the day is still a great time to visit UA and meet other top students. i highly encourage attending, but also visit the Friday before and take the campus tour and/or meet with professors and administrators.</p>
<p>I think that Capstone Scholars Day is an “honors version” of University Days. I think at CSD, they talk more about the honors program, honors courses, and honors dorms. </p>
<p>I would think that there would be a campus tour involved, but I don’t know. Anyone know?</p>
<p>The day’s schedule won’t be exactly the same as UDays, because UDays is for all students and has a section on Scholarships. That won’t be needed for CSD.</p>
<p>Another question…</p>
<p>Do engineering scholarships come separate? I received my 2/3 tuition but there was nothing about the engineering part.</p>
<p>Yes, I believe they do. </p>
<p>Just to make sure…in MyBama, does it list you as an engineering or comp sci major?</p>
<p>Yes, I believe they do. </p>

<p>If not, your major isn’t listed correctly.</p>

<p>Yes, my major is listed as engineering.</p>
<p>Another mom just posted on another Bama thread that her child’s Engineering scholarship came in a separate letter about a week after getting the university scholarship.</p>
<p>When did you get your UA Scholars scholarship? With the Thanksgiving holiday, there may be a slight delay in receiving your eng’g scholarship.</p>
<p>I got it either Friday or Saturday. Not sure, because I was not able to check the mail from Wednesday-Sunday. Good to know though! I’ll keep watching for it :)</p>
<p>Let us know :)</p>
<p>Question: Should I be worried if I did not receive an invite to CSD?</p>
<p>Weren’t you just accepted? If so, your invite will likely arrive within a week or so. It comes in a separate envelope - more invitation shaped if I remember correctly.</p>
<p>Thanks can’t wait for it.</p>
