Bright Futures

The Florida Department of Education offers the Florida Bright Futures Scholarships for high school graduates. Click here for more Information or call (888) 827-2004 prior to your high school graduation.

Presidential Scholarships

The Office of Admissions currently offers a limited number of merit-based Presidential scholarships designed for our in-state high-achieving students:

  • Presidential Scholarship: $5,000 per year (Fall/Spring, total 4 years)
  • Presidential Gold Scholarship: $8,000 per year (Fall/Spring, total 4 years)
  • Presidential Platinum Scholarship: $10,000 per year (Fall/Spring, total 4 years)

There is not a separate application for these scholarships; all applicants who apply by the November 1 deadline are considered on the basis of their admission application. Applicants are considered for scholarships using the same holistic and academic criteria used for admission. No additional materials or updated information should be submitted for scholarship review.

While there are no minimum academic criteria for Presidential scholarships, applicants must be classified as a Florida resident for tuition purposes by our February Decision Day. Past recipients have demonstrated strong academic achievement that falls within the upper middle 50% of our admitted student profile, combined with a diverse and engaged résumé and essay response. However, meeting our profile numbers does not guarantee a scholarship award. If selected for one of our merit-based scholarships, an offer will arrive via email and mail by the beginning of March.

Out-of-State Scholarships

The UF Office of Admissions currently offers a very limited number of merit-based out of state scholarships designed to reduce the out-of-state tuition for out-of-state high-achieving students at the following levels:

  • Alumni Scholarship: Up to $8,000 per year (Fall/Spring, total $32,000 4 years)
  • Sunshine Scholarship: Up to $16,000 per year (Fall/Spring, total $64,000 4 years)
  • Gator Nation Scholarship: Up to $20,000 per year (Fall/Spring, total $80,000 4 years)

There is no separate application for out-of-state scholarships; all applicants who apply by the November 1 deadline are considered on the basis of their admission application. Applicants are considered for scholarships using the same holistic and academic criteria used for admission. No additional materials or updated information should be submitted for scholarship review.

While there are no minimum criteria for the out-of-state scholarships, applicants should be classified as a non-Florida resident for tuition purposes by our February Decision Day. If your residency classification is updated to Florida after being awarded an out-of-state scholarship, you will no longer be eligible and the award will be rescinded. Past recipients have typically fallen within the upper middle 50% of our admitted student profile, combined with a diverse and engaged résumé and essay response. However, meeting our profile numbers does not guarantee a scholarship award. If selected for one of our out-of-state scholarships, an offer will arrive via email and mail by the beginning of March.
