Okay, so this is international freshman
0:03
automatic merit scholarships at the
0:04
University of Alabama. We actually made
0:06
a video for this uh previously, but it's
0:09
been like two years and it was just like
0:11
a like a live stream clip. So I wanted
0:13
to do another one, an updated one and
0:15
like kind of a proper one. This is for
0:18
bachelors. It's in University of
0:19
Alabama. It's full funding. There are no
0:22
restrictions in nationality or subject.
0:24
So it's like a very broad uh
0:26
scholarship. very broad scope
0:28
scholarships scholarship and you don't
0:30
have to apply for this scholarship. It
0:32
also have kind of like different levels.
0:34
Uh we're going to talk about that in a
0:36
second. But the admission deadline is
0:38
May the 1st. So, University of
0:41
University of Alabama is not only kind
0:43
of like more affordable than most uh
0:46
American universities, but also uh this
0:48
is the type of scholarship that you
0:50
won't really find in a lot of
0:51
universities in the United States. So if
0:53
you want to study undergraduate in USA,
0:55
this is a great opportunity. Um again,
0:57
it's in University of Alabama. Let's see
0:59
about that in like a couple of seconds.
1:02
It's in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. It's about
1:04
40,000 people. And as you can see, there
1:06
are other scholarships. And this is like
1:08
they have two different full funding
1:11
scholarships just for bachelors, which
1:13
is not something that you see in a lot
1:15
of American universities. Uh this is the
1:17
one we're talking about right now. uh
1:19
they also have academic elite
1:20
scholarship which is which covers your
1:22
full tution uh about 8,000 annually for
1:26
four years 18,000 per years for years 2
1:29
to four for top academic lead scholars
1:32
you get the idea and then they also have
1:34
like graduate assistantships and council
1:36
fellowships so there is one person who
1:39
have earned scholarships in this
1:41
university you can read about their
1:43
experience like their test scores uh
1:45
what scholarships they've earned they
1:47
received University of Alabama
1:49
Presidential Scholarship. It's like this
1:51
one in this scholarship, but it's kind
1:54
of a a lower level than the top level
1:57
like like second highest level of
1:58
scholarship, which is about $28,000. Uh
2:01
there is also no extra application
2:03
process for this. So yeah, this is a
2:06
like kind of like an automatic automatic
2:07
scholarship in the sense that you are
2:09
automatically considered when you apply
2:11
to the university. You don't have to
2:13
apply. So yeah, you can read about their
2:15
experience, read about their background
2:17
and if you want to get more information
2:19
directly from them, uh this is their uh
2:21
Instagram uh link. So you can ask ask
2:24
your questions to them directly. Um this
2:26
is the international masters and
2:28
bachelors admission pages. You can see
2:31
those. Here we have a couple of uh
2:33
scholarship and admission results. Four
2:35
of these all four of these are accepted.
2:38
Here you see SATs, ACTs. This is
2:40
expected family contribution. So
2:42
sometimes universities in the United
2:44
States ask you how much your uh family
2:47
can contribute and how much the
2:49
university like a scholarship would need
2:51
to cover. So that's sometimes important,
2:53
sometimes it's not. As you can see, high
2:55
GPA and some of them got scholarships,
2:57
some of them not. We do have an
2:59
application tutorial if you want to
3:01
apply to like if you're interested. So a
3:03
lot of times people ask me to make
3:06
tutorials for applying to scholarships
3:08
but most of the times to be able to
3:09
apply to a scholarship you have to apply
3:11
to the university first and then you
3:13
have to get in and then you can apply to
3:15
this for the scholarship which is
3:17
obviously not something I can do. Uh so
3:20
usually I cannot really make a tutorial
3:22
but if you want to apply to this
3:23
scholarship you just need to apply to
3:25
the university and that's it for which
3:27
we do have a tutorial actually
3:29
university of Alabama application
3:30
tutorial. Uh you can just click here to
3:32
see the entire uh application pro
3:34
procedure. I think it's through common
3:36
app. Here we have the deadlines. Tion as
3:39
you can see it's about like 25 to
3:40
$30,000 which is on the lower end.
3:43
Usually it's between $30 to $60,000
3:46
tions in United States. Uh this is like
3:49
this it starts from 25 which is quite
3:52
good and Tuscaloosa is not as expensive
3:54
as let's say uh New York, San Francisco,
3:57
Los Angeles or something like that. So
4:00
that's also really good in terms of
4:02
affordability. If you have any questions
4:04
at any point, you can just leave them in
4:05
our comment section. And as you can see
4:07
here, he is the founder of global
4:09
scholarships. He's our main expert. He
4:11
answers every single one of them. So
4:13
yeah, let's see the university where it
4:15
is and what it looks like. If you want
4:17
to study in the United States, if you
4:18
want to study in uh Sweet Home, Alabama,
4:21
uh this is the university for you. This
4:24
is what the university looks like. Of
4:26
course, they do have a football team,
4:28
American football, obviously, found in
4:30
1831. This is what the university looks
4:33
like. Basically, it's a very well-known
4:35
university in the United States. Very
4:37
well-known uh place, Alabama. Anyway,
4:40
the scholarship. So, as you can see,
4:41
scholarship has quite a number of
4:44
different levels. So in lowest level,
4:46
Crimson Legend scholars gets 6,000 and
4:49
then it goes up like 8,000 10,000 15,000
4:53
24,000 $28,000 for presidential scholars
4:56
uh which is the scholarship level that
4:59
our uh scholarship recipient here got.
5:02
And then if you get the presidential
5:04
elit scholarship, which is the highest
5:06
level of scholarship, you get full
5:08
tution for 4 years on campus housing at
5:11
regular room rate, $500 for book
5:14
expenses, and onetime allowance of
5:16
$2,000 for summer research or
5:18
international study. For you residential
5:21
elit scholars, there is some eligibility
5:24
criteria. There's a lot of eligibility
5:25
criteria for every different level. This
5:28
is 3.0, 0 but I think it was 3.5 for all
5:32
of them. So we have GPA 3 to 3.5 and
5:36
then for every different level uh you
5:39
need to have like this ACT or this SAT
5:42
and then one person who has 36 ACT or
5:47
1600 SAT and 4.0 GPA. One person who has
5:51
those will get the Presidential Elite
5:54
Award which again covers these like all
5:57
pretty much everything, right? We're
5:58
going to see about that in a second as
5:59
well. We have the deadlines here. Again,
6:01
you don't have to apply for the
6:03
scholarship. So, this is our scholarship
6:04
recipient. Again, if you have any
6:07
questions, you can leave them here or
6:08
you can click here to go and see the
6:11
official scholarship page directly from
6:13
the university. So, this Yeah, this here
6:15
it is 2026 international freshman
6:18
automatic merit scholarships. Yeah, as
6:19
you can see, it's 3.5 for every level
6:22
from 6,000 to 28,000 composite or total
6:25
test score. can see these the highest
6:28
tier is 28 and one student with four GPA
6:32
and ACT SAT scores will be selected as a
6:36
presidential elite scholars and they
6:38
will receive pretty much the same thing
6:40
tuition for four years a semester first
6:44
year of onampus housing $1,500 per year
6:47
supplemental scholarship for four years
6:50
and then $2,000 onetime allowance and
6:53
here's the deadlines and then you have
6:55
some other scholarships. So yeah, this
6:56
is an automatic merit scholarship. Like
6:58
if you have these SATs or these GPA, you
7:01
have to have something higher than 3.5
7:04
and then ACTs. Uh if you get higher than
7:07
that, but even if you get 4.0
7:10
and the highest uh like 1600 SAT, only
7:13
one student I believe uh will get this.
7:16
But I think like if you get these for
7:19
example, you have this ACTs test scores
7:22
and 3.5, you automatically get this. I
7:24
build that. I think that's I mean that's
7:26
what I get from this page. So yeah, this
7:29
is a very good scholarship. Usually you
7:31
don't really get um t like full funding
7:33
scholarships in United States for
7:35
bachelors a lot and it's already kind of
7:38
like a more affordable place than a lot
7:40
of uh other options in United States. So
7:42
if you want to study in the United
7:44
States, it's a really good university.
7:45
It's a very simple option. You get a lot
7:48
of value for your merit. And yeah,
7:51
that's pretty much it. Check out the
