Need-Based Scholarships
USA provides retention and graduation awards to students each semester, to help cover unexpected financial shortfalls that impact a student's ability to meet educational expenses and help prevent them from stopping their studies or dropping out.
Scholarships range in value based on need, and student level, are not renewable and most students will only be considered for an award at one point during their enrollment at South.
Minimum Eligibility Requirements:
- must be classified as a degree-seeking undergraduate student (first degree),
- be enrolled full-time and/or registered for the maximum number of credits required to graduate,
- must demonstrate financial need,
- must be in good academic standing (Students currently on financial aid warning, probation, or suspension will not be considered.),
- must have a current FAFSA on file, and
- have exhausted all other forms of aid.
The University of South Alabama, in partnership with the EBSCO Foundation, offers a scholarship that seeks to intervene when unmet financial need prevents registration or progression. Scholarships range in value based on need and student level.
Additional Eligibility Requirements:
- minimum 2.2 overall cumulative GPA.
- eligible for the Federal Pell Grant, and
- must be an Alabama resident.
- Preference given to students at or above 75% degree completion.
How to Apply:
Applications are available in JagSPOT and open with future term registration each term. Completion of the application is not a guarantee of an award.
