Scholarship and Stipend Award Policy

AUM offers a variety of scholarship opportunities for entering freshmen from high schools, community college transfers, active-duty military dependents stationed in Alabama, and currently enrolled students. Most scholarships require full-time attendance and are based on the applicant’s academic or extracurricular record, while some are based on financial need. To ensure consideration for all scholarship opportunities, a student should complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) annually. Institutional academic scholarships are only eligible for face-to-face programs and do not apply toward fully online programs.
