Out-of-State Tuition Reductions
(Non-Florida residents)
Recipients are selected from admitted freshmen who are non-Florida residents for tuition purposes. There is not a separate application for these scholarships as all admitted students who apply by the November 1 priority deadline are considered eligible. The recipients are selected by a committee each spring and will be notified via email and regular mail by the end of March. Due to our very strong freshman class and the limited number of scholarships we are able to award, our committee has a very challenging time making their selections. There are four tiers of out of state scholarships, reducing the out of state tuition for selected students. The dollar amounts are reflective of the awards made to members of the 2011 freshman class:
- Office of Admissions Alumni Scholarship: $8,000 per year
- Sunshine Scholarship: $16,000 per year
- Orange and Blue Scholarship: $19,000 per year
- Gator Nation Scholarship: $20,000 per year
