Scholarships for transfer students

A few things to keep in mind when applying for a UNF Transfer Scholarship:

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.

Scholarship application decisions will be released by May each year and scholarships are awarded beginning in the fall term of each year.

In order to be eligible for a scholarship, you must be admitted to UNF.

Deadlines vary; please note the deadlines for each scholarship below.

Eligibility does not guarantee an award.

Tip: Because funds are limited, students are encouraged to submit the scholarship application and the FAFSA by February 14.
