Non-Florida Tuition Waiver
The Non-Florida Tuition Waiver scholarship functions as an out-of-state tuition waiver. If awarded, it waives a portion or all out-of-state tuition and fees. Recipients must be registered students in good standing with the University of North Florida, with at least one academic year (Fall and Spring terms) of full-time course work completed at UNF. Awards are based on the amount of waivers provided to the International Center each year and are reserved for F-1 students. The selection criterion is a mix of academic performance and date of graduation. Students are required to submit an application for each award term that they would like to be considered, even if they received the award previously. For further information, please review the Non-Florida Tuition Waiver application and guidelines.

Athletic Scholarship Opportunities:
For inquiries about playing for an athletics team at UNF, you may contact the specific coaching staff. For details visit the athletics staff directory. When contacting the coaching staff, please include a resume and relevant statistics, video footage, and academic transcripts and test scores (if available). UNF is an NCAA Division I university and is a member of the ASUN Conference. As a result, roster spots and athletic scholarships are very competitive. However, the athletics department is diverse and international students make up parts of many teams!
