DIVISION OF STUDENT AFFAIRS

Subject: Athletic Team Support Group Scholarships

Source of Policy: Office of Student Life


I.       General Guidelines

The scholarships for athletic team support groups at UAB will be given as scholarship tuition credit. Scholarships will be awarded to UAB students currently enrolled and in good standing. These awards will be given squad members during the applicable season as listed below. The amount of award varies among groups (for example, dance team or cheerleader); see Section II.

According to the schedule below, each adviser will submit a list of those to receive scholarships to the Assistant Vice President for Student Life (see criteria below). The appropriate amounts will be credited to the student’s account.

Scholarships are provided in recognition of the spirit and leadership demonstrated as Cheerleaders, Golden Girls, or Mascots. Partial funding of scholarships will not be permitted; however, future scholarships may be reduced for failure to meet established requirements. Each squad has its own constitution which squad members agree to uphold at selection.

These scholarships are funded in conjunction with the marching band through the Department of Music.
