Bama Houston scholarships help Houston-area students attend The University of Alabama
All Houston-area students admitted to The University of Alabama by January 15 (previously Dec 15), and who have submitted the UA Application for Scholarships via myBama.ua.edu portal, are considered for our scholarships.
For more information about National Alumni Association scholarships, including NAA member-based scholarships for children and grandchildren of UA graduates, please visit alumni.ua.edu/scholarships/.
Each spring (usually early March), the Bama Houston Scholarship Committee initially asks for confirmation, via email (at personal and My Bama email accounts), of a continuing desire to enroll at UA from each applicant. You must respond to this email to be considered for a scholarship. The committee then reviews these students’ applications based on criteria set for each scholarship. Details are below. Number of recipients and award amounts vary each year based on projected endowment income.
During the 2020-2021 academic year, 11 outstanding Houston-area students are receiving scholarship awards totaling $16,500 from the Houston alumni chapter.
