<p>JLauer, Alabama's (or The University, as it is generally known in Alabama) scholarships were for years ranked in Tiers. The tiers were roughly by prestige and amount, but they also had some division by whether or not a scholarship was open anyone - lots of the money comes with attached strings, certain major is required or you have to be from a particular county or town.
Also scholarships were administered by at least 3 different divisions of the University, counting athletic scholarships. Very recently, I think they have begun revamping the scholarship system to make it a little more understandable - I think they are trying to move to a system where you submit one application, whereas before you got money just for applying to the university, then you might have to submit as many as 2 more apps, plus go to Capstone Days to compete for the full range of scholarships - they probably have gotten to the point where the website has been changed.</p>
<p>After I posted, I thought of a couple of other ideas - Montevallo if he doesn't mind staying close to home, Oglethorpe in Atlanta.</p>
