Managing/Reporting External Scholarship and Awards
There are many scholarship resources beyond what you will find here at USA. External Scholarships are awarded by employers, individuals, companies, high schools, religious groups, and professional associations independently of the 老司机福利网. 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 important to the sponsoring individual or organization.
In addition, there are a variety of free national search engines to assist you in identifying additional funding resources. Be advised that some external sites do sell your application information - but you can opt out. Each individual site will provide specific information on how to opt out. And, while some sites may attempt to charge you a fee, there are plenty of online services that do not charge. Stay alert to possible scams - if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
The Office of Scholarship Services cannot credit an external scholarship award to
a student's account until the funds have been received.
External scholarship checks should be mailed to the following address:
Office of Scholarship Services
390 Student Center Circle
Meisler Hall, Suite 1225
Mobile, AL 36688
- External scholarship checks should be made payable to the 老司机福利网.
- The student's Jag Number, donor's contact information, and the award terms should also be included with the scholarship check.
Students are strongly encouraged to research the availability of private scholarships and awards. A great place to start is right at home - local civic groups, parent/guardian employers, local religious organizations, professional organizations, clubs, and local businesses are all places that offer aid to students. Additionally, you can visit the external scholarship and search engine links provided on our website. These sites will provide information on external scholarship opportunities, search engines and scholarship websites, as well as tips and tools for how to optimize your search.

Additionally, the USA Honors College maintains a database, and administers preliminary
application assistance, for several nationally competitive scholarships and fellowships.
Students interested in these programs must contact the appropriate advisor at least
nine months in advance of the posted deadline, and preferably much earlier than that.

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.
An outside agency may require multiple University verifications in order to process, or renew an award. For Financial Aid or Need Based information you can send the request to our office via email at scholarships@southalabama.edu.
For Transcript and Enrollment information, the University uses an online reporting system through the National Clearinghouse that can be accessed through your PAWS account. Please visit the Office of the Registrar for more information.
