The University of Alabama’s Prestige Scholarship application is generally tied to the undergraduate admission application, which opens in early August. For summer or fall 2027 entry, the university lists August 3, 2026, as the application opening date and December 4, 2026, as the priority deadline for scholarship consideration.
How to apply
You typically don’t submit a separate application to open consideration for the scholarship. Instead, complete the University of Alabama’s undergraduate admission application and submit all required supporting materials by the priority deadline. The admission application includes the scholarship application for many University of Alabama awards.
The Alabama Prestige Scholarship is aimed at outstanding Alabama high school students and may include four years of tuition and first-year housing, according to published scholarship descriptions. Because eligibility and deadlines can change by entering class, applicants should rely on the current scholarship details shown through the university’s admissions and scholarship systems.
Important dates
For students entering in summer or fall 2027:
- Application opens: August 3, 2026.
- Priority scholarship deadline: December 4, 2026.
- Recommended approach: Submit the admission application, transcript, and any required test scores well before the priority deadline.
After applying and being admitted, check the Alabama Scholarship Award Manager, or ASAM, for any additional scholarship applications or requirements. Some awards may appear only after the university has processed your admission materials. The safest answer is: the Prestige Scholarship process opens when University of Alabama undergraduate applications open, typically in early August, and the priority deadline for the 2027 entering class is December 4, 2026.
