The UNF College of Arts and Sciences Dean's Council is accepting applications for the Transformational Learning Endowed Scholarship.

These are competitive, merit-based awards in support of undergraduate students engaged in scholarly and/or creative projects that will enrich their academic learning and personal development. Scholarship recipients will receive funding based on availability to support their experience.

The Transformational Learning Scholarship will fund students pursuing:

  • Career-focused Internships – academically relevant unpaid internships
  • Conference attendance and presentations
  • Directed Independent Study – specific guided research with a full-time faculty member
  • Juried show or performance
  • Studying abroad or within the United States on a specific academic subject
  • Undergraduate research, scholarship, and creative projects.

The College of Arts and Sciences Dean's Council will evaluate the applications and will make award decisions.

To be eligible for the Transformational Learning Scholarship, an applicant must:

  • Earn a minimum UNF GPA of of at least 2.75. 
  • Be a declared major or intended major within the College of Arts and Sciences. 
  • Have a full-time faculty member sponsor the project and oversee its completion. The faculty sponsor must endorse the student's proposal as part of this application.
  • Be willing and available to present the results of the completed project at a Dean's Council meeting, comply with all University regulations, rules, and codes of conduct governing students on campus, and consent to release his or her grades to University Development and Alumni Engagement if they are requested.
  • Have a faculty-supervised transformational learning experience scheduled to be completed before graduation.

Students are only eligible to receive this scholarship support for two semesters. Have questions? Please contact the COAS Scholarship Coordinator at coas.scholarships@unf.edu.

*The total value of financial aid and scholarships the student receives during any one academic year at UNF should not exceed the Cost of Education as established by UNF Enrollment Services. If the student is awarded a combination of federal, state, private, foundation, institutional financial aid, and scholarships that exceeds the Cost of Education, the institutional scholarship will be reduced until the total value of financial aid and scholarships equals the cost of education for the semester.
