<p>I am a high school junior from California extremely interested in University of Alabama. According to the out of state scholarship page, I am eligible for the Presidential Scholarship. I just had one question - the scholarship is specifically for freshmen. I have various credits at my local community college, thanks to a program that gives college credit for my time volunteering for a local theatre, which I have done for the past five years. Would these credits classify me as a transfer student rather than a freshman, thus making me ineligible for the scholarship?</p>
<p>any college credits earned prior to grduation of high school do NOT qualify you as transfer, in your case, you will be applying as freshman.</p>
