Need-based Scholarships for
Florida Residents


The University of North Florida believes that every qualified student should have access to a college education regardless of their ability to pay.

A number of individual donors have provided our students with scholarship support through our UNF Foundation. These need based scholarships require students to apply and be accepted to UNF and to also complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and demonstrate financial need.

The sooner you are admitted and complete your FAFSA the better opportunity you have to receive a scholarship award. After reading the scholarship descriptions below, if you have additional questions please contact us at Pathways@unf.edu or (904) 620-2623.

Students may be automatically considered if they meet the specified scholarship criteria.

For more information on applying for these scholarships, visit the Pathways to Success scholarship application page.
