Entering first-time freshman, transfer and online students can apply at no cost to the University of Alabama at Birmingham during “Free App Week,” running from Oct. 7-11.
In an initiative that UAB hopes will provide increased access to prospective students who are seeking higher education, both in- and out-of-state students are eligible to submit applications with no associated fees during this week.
“By participating in Free App Week, we remove a financial barrier that may prevent students from even considering UAB in their college search,” said Kathleen Stallings, executive director of Undergraduate Admissions and Scholarships at UAB. “We want to promote access in this way because an application is the first step to becoming a Blazer.”
