Scholarship FAQs

Scholarship:  a sum of money or other aid granted to an undergraduate student because of merit, need, etc. to pursue his or her studies. 

COEHS offers over 50 donor-funded scholarships and fellowships to our students. Many are renewable, as long as the student continues to meet the required criteria.

Yes, for students who were not selected, but wish to be considered again. 

No, for students who have already received an award, are eligible to have that award renewed and do not wish to apply for additional scholarships or fellowships.

After the application period has closed, a Selection Committee will review completed applications and make final selections. In late spring or early summer, applicants will be notified by mail whether they have or have not been selected for the following school year.

All awards are subject to availability.

The funds will be applied to the recipient's UNF account at the beginning of each semester. If this is not the case, the recipient will be notified of alternative arrangements.

Previous recipients should refer to their existing scholarship/fellowship agreement, which lists the maximum number of semesters of renewal, along with other terms.

If at any time there is a change in the student's status so that the student no longer meets the specific scholarship/fellowship criteria, then the award may be revoked. This could include but is not limited to GPA requirements, full-time vs. part-time status, etc.
