University of Alabama at Birmingham

We can think of all sorts of reasons for you to join us at UAB. We offer an exceptional education. We’ve got lots of fun activities. We’re adjacent to a business district loaded with career opportunities. We’re diverse. We’re affordable. So is there a reason not to attend UAB? Well, we guess if you have an aversion to the color green or something, maybe you should pick a different school. Then again, nah. Who doesn’t love green?

Academics

Not to brag, but we’re good at this. Really good. In fact, we keep getting ranked on list after list for our academics. That’s nice and everything, but our real prize comes from seeing our graduates go on to do amazing things using the very skills they learned here. We’re proud of them. So can you blame us if we brag from time to time?

Birmingham

Our city is amazing. In fact, we call it the Magic City. We have renowned restaurants and entertainment. World-class museums and theatres. Murals all over town. More parks than you can imagine. And a 56-foot tall statue of the Roman god of fire standing guard over it all. Like we said, amazing.

Research

We’ve put a high priority on investigating and discovering. We rake in hundreds of millions of dollars in research funding every year from all sorts of donors. And if you’re a freshman, we’ll be eager to get you into the game right off the bat. Because, as we said, it’s a priority here.

Diversity

If we haven’t mentioned our multiple Diversity Championship awards from INSIGHT into Diversity magazine in the last 15 minutes, well, then we’re due to bring it up. We’re extremely proud to be one of the most diverse universities in America. And we’re always eager to talk about it.

Career Outcomes and Internships

One of our greatest advantages here at UAB is our proximity to so many businesses. Big corporations. Small operations. Innovative start-ups. We’ve got a little bit of everything here in Birmingham. And that means lots of opportunities for you.

Affordability

At UAB, we strive to offer a great education for an affordable price. We have many ways to help you pay for school. From grants to scholarships to financial aid and more, we can help you find ways to pay for your education.

Scholarship

The UAB International Scholarship, valued at US $7,500 per year, is available to applicants who are enrolling as first-year, full-time, degree-seeking students in an undergraduate program at UAB. Students must meet all of the following requirements to be automatically considered for this award upon admission to UAB:

  • Graduate from a secondary or high school (up to 2 years prior to intake) with a minimum grade point average of 3.0/4.0
  • Have not enrolled in post-secondary work
  • Anticipate holding an F-1 visa

The examined GPA will be the cumulative GPA at the time of admission. All scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis as funds are available and are renewable for a total of four years (or eight academic semesters). Students who are receiving governmental scholarships or other external support are not eligible to receive this award.

UAB is pleased to offer IB Scholarships, departmental scholarships, performance scholarships, and more. Students interested in these scholarships should complete the general scholarship application in the Blazer Scholarship Management and Resource Tool (BSMART).  Completing the general application submits student information to many departments on campus for scholarship consideration.
