Scholarship FAQs (AR Charges)

Can I buy kits with my scholarship?
After confirming your kits are required on your course syllabus, find out if your scholarship includes coverage for kits, and if there are enough available funds for the purchase. Contact your case manager to verify coverage for required kits.

I have a National Merit Scholarship. Does it cover books?
Unfortunately, incoming Freshmen cannot use their scholarship for course materials. After your incoming Freshmen year, the National Merit Scholarship will cover required course materials.

I didn't use all my book scholarship. Can I get reimbursed?
Contact Student Account Services at 205-348-5350 regarding any reimbursements.

I bought my books on a third-party site instead of using my scholarship at the Supe Store. Can my scholarship reimburse me?
No. Check to see if you can return the book your purchased on the third-party site, then buy the book through the Supply Store to utilize your scholarship for eligible course materials.

I have a question about my book scholarship balance.
Contact Student Account Services at 205-348-5350.

How do I check to see if my schedule is confirmed?
Go to your student account through myBama, click on the student tab and it will be listed in the middle, at the top, under Student Account Services. Once you've confirmed your schedule, allow 24 hours before you come to the Supe Store to use your scholarship.
