A number of individual donors and companies in the community have generously provided our students with scholarship support through the UNF Foundation.   We seek to assist students in achieving their dreams and earning bachelors degrees while developing leadership and growth through community service, study abroad, Transformational Learning Opportunities (TLO), and undergraduate research.

These scholarships require:
  • acceptance to UNF as a freshman (first time in college)
  • complete the Pathways to Success application (no later than April 1st)
  • be a Florida resident
  • complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and demonstrate financial need.  (Financial need is determined by a student’s campus cost of attendance minus the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) as calculated from the FAFSA, and other aid received.)
  • full time enrollment with a minimum of 12 credit hours each semester
  • attendance of Freshmen Advising Workshops, donor luncheons/receptions, and other Pathways to Success events
If you have additional questions please contact us at Pathways@unf.edu or (904) 620-2623.


Candidate should only apply once. You will automatically be considered for other scholarships if you meet the criteria. One scholarship is awarded per student and scholarship awards may change based on funding availability.
