PrepScholar Names UA Honors College Among Best “Bang for Your Buck” Honors Colleges

PrepScholar has named The University of Alabama’s Honors College among the best “Bang for Your Buck” honors colleges in the nation.

Ashley Robinson of PrepScholar cited competitive admissions and academic opportunity through programs like Randall Research Scholars Program and Witt University Fellows Program. Robinson also mentioned UA Honors’ scholarship opportunities.

“UA Honors offers some of the most generous merit aid packages in the country to its students,” Robinson of PrepScholar wrote. “At least eleven different types of merit and need based scholarships are available to UA honors students. On top of those scholarships, UA Honors students are eligible for study abroad scholarships and research fellowships.”

The University of Alabama Honors College is proud to be a premier institution for Honors education.
