Key Bradbury STEM Fellowship

The Key Bradbury STEM Fellowship is awarded to outstanding University of North Florida graduate students. This fellowship provides one student in a field related to science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) $10,000 per academic year ($5,000 per semester; fall/spring) for up to two years as long as the student remains eligible. Thus, the recipient may receive up to $20,000 for their graduate education.

Eligibility 
To be eligible for the fellowship, applicants must:
  • Be a degree seeking graduate student at UNF,
  • Show academic merit as evidenced by a graduate admissions GPA of 3.0 or higher,
  • Demonstrate leadership throughout undergraduate college years including, but not limited to, athletic teams, school club or Greek organizations, youth groups, volunteer service, etc.,
  • Be enrolled full time in a STEM designated graduate degree program (Programs may determine what is considered full time for their nominees but it may be no fewer than 6 credit hours per semester.).
