In the 2015-2016 session, the Staff Senate established a scholarship for UAH staff members working toward earning a degree at UAH.
The Staff Senate Scholarship program has been designed to support and encourage employee development through formal education, with a priority on the attainment of a baccalaureate degree and beyond at The University of Alabama in Huntsville. It has been established with the purpose of reimbursing staff for a portion of their book and fee expenditures.

In the event there is still a tie, Financial Aid may review an essay box of 200 words asking the applicant to provide any additional information they would like to include about themselves. This could be used to provide a reason why they are seeking their degree, financial need, or perhaps staff awards received. Since this is subjective, it should only be used in the event the students have the same rubric score, GPA and program credit hours. This is not a financial need scholarship so one reason weighs more than any other.
