[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Over the past two decades, though, the University of Alabama has transformed its student body, increasing its share of new out-of-state undergraduates from just twenty-three per cent in 2002 to sixty-five per cent in 2022, according to recent data from the National Center for Education Statistics.[/quote]

Alabama gives free tuition plus stipend plus master’s plus honors college and more to NMF. That probably increases out of state attendance. It wasn’t enough to interest my NMF in going to Alabama, though. [/quote]

My NMF chose Bama and is doing very well. The NMF cohort there is very engaged.[/quote]

Can you speak more to this?  My HS junior who is likely to make the NM cutoff is looking at Alabama as an option. [/quote]

Alabama doesn’t have a great rep here but the NMF package is solid and attracts a lot of smart kids from all kinds of backgrounds. There are several options for Honors programs  such as Blount Scholars, Randall Research Scholars, Witt Fellows, etc.

There’s a lot of programming and wrap around services for the NMF students and Honors students in general. There’s an active NMF parent group on FB that has been very helpful too in understanding how to utilize the scholarship to the maximum benefit, including study abroad and graduate studies.

Alabama students in the Honors cohort/NMF do quite well and students have won several prestigious graduate awards including Rhodes in 2022 and 2025, Fulbright, Marshall, Obama Chesky, etc.
