Presidential Mentors Academy

The candidate must be a resident of the state of Alabama or reside in one of the eleven contiguous counties in TN or MS which UNA considers “in-state.” The candidate must be admitted unconditionally.

UNA supports opportunities for students whose racial group is underrepresented on the UNA campus. The PMA provides living/learning experiences for incoming minority freshmen students. The program combines academic success with financial assistance and on campus work opportunities for qualifying entering freshman students. The successful candidate must possess both leadership potential and the potential to succeed in a higher education environment as demonstrated by a résumé of high school activities and a written recommendation from the high school principal, counselor, or teacher. Students who meet the requirements by January 30 will be considered automatically. For more information, please contact the Office of Admissions or ask your UNA Admissions Counselor for more details.
