Because the University of Florida is a public institution, we are able to offer one of the most affordable graduate programs in the country, even for non-Florida residents. The result of this, of course, is that institutional assistance in the form of scholarships, assistantships and fellowships is limited.
Loans are the most common type of graduate student aid.
U.S. citizens and permanent residents applying to the Program should submit a financial aid application early to ensure the availability of federal loan money. Please note that International students are ineligible for these loan programs. Request a Gator Aid Application Guide from the University of Florida Office for Student Financial Affairs. Submit the application for financial aid at the same time as, or even before, applying for admission. After reviewing the returned application and correcting any errors, return the form to the federal processor as soon as possible.
