- Students must submit a scholarship application to be considered for these awards. See below for instructions.
- Most scholarships are only available to students admitted to the summer or fall semesters.
- Applicants must be incoming transfer students who have completed an Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree; current UNF students are not eligible to apply.

- In order to be eligible for a scholarship, you must be admitted to UNF.
- Deadlines vary; please note the deadlines for each scholarship below.
