The University of North Florida is proud to announce the new Schilling STEM Scholarship, established through the generosity of Dr. Paul J. Schilling. The scholarship provides up to $5,000 in financial support to undergraduate students pursuing degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) who demonstrate academic achievement and financial need.

What is Scholarship Universe?

  • Scholarship Universe is a platform that automatically matches students to potential awards based on your major, GPA, and other information UNF already knows. If you are awarded a non-application scholarship, we'll email your UNF account. You can also apply for Non-UNF Scholarships through Scholarship Universe.
