There are many scholarship resources beyond what you will find here at USA. External Scholarships are awarded by employers, companies, civic organizations, high schools, religious groups, and professional associations independent of the University of South Alabama. The criteria for external opportunities differs from scholarship to scholarship, but can include academic performance, financial need, religious affiliation, minority status, heritage, community affiliations, or other unique criteria. Please be advised that the USA Office of Scholarship Services is impartial to the views and opinions of the scholarships featured. The listing will be continuously updated, and new scholarships will be posted when they become available. Eligibility requirements and application deadlines may change without our knowledge. We advise students to thoroughly research prior to submitting scholarship applications. Any student using the internet to apply for scholarships should be aware of possible risks.
