Organizations from across campus will share information about applying to institutional scholarships, funding opportunities, and loan forgiveness programs to showcase the many options students have for finding additional financial support during and after their journey to graduation.
Some of the featured organizations at this event include the Financial Aid Office, First Blazers program, TRIO programs, UAB Fellowships Department, Writing Center, and more. Assistance with navigating BSMART will be available, and students can stop by the Writing Center's table to discuss how to develop effective scholarship essay responses.
Support for submitting your 2025 to 2026 FAFSA will also be available. The first 100 students to submit their FAFSA application at the event will receive $20 in Blazer Bucks!
After engaging with some organizations at the event, students will be able to enjoy refreshments.
While this event will be aimed at our first-gen Blazers, all students are welcome to attend.
