Entering students and transfer students are automatically considered when they have a complete application on file at the University of Florida Admissions Office by the application deadline. A complete file includes an application form, a high school transcript, test scores, and an application fee. Individual departments and schools within the University also offer scholarships. Please contact departments directly for information. Many of the scholarships described on this tape are listed in the Gator Aid Handbook available from the Office for Student Financial Affairs in S-107 Criser Hall, or on the Student Financial Affairs home page on the World Wide Web.
Students can also research privately funded scholarships.
UF participates in several free on-line scholarship searches through the Student Financial Affairs home page on the world wide web. In addition, the office maintains an electronic bulletin board and a supply of applications sent in by outside scholarship donors. Additionally, reference books listing private scholarships may be found in libraries and bookstores. Some funds from private donors are on deposit at the University of Florida and are awarded as part of financial aid packages by the Office for Student Financial Affairs to students who are academically and financially eligible and meet any special donor requirements. There are no separate applications for SFA awarded scholarships and all eligible on-time aid applicants are considered.
