Scholarships
The University of North Florida is committed to helping students finance their college education.
There are various UNF and non-UNF scholarships available for UNF students. Scholarships are awarded for a variety of reasons, including academic achievement, financial need, campus and community involvement, and leadership experience. Scholarships are a form of gift aid and do not need to be repaid.
Admissions Scholarships
The Office of Admissions offers scholarships to first-time-in-college (FTIC) and transfer students. These scholarships are awarded automatically based on qualifications and availability, and do not require a scholarship application.
UNF Foundation Scholarships
Through the generosity of individuals, alumni, local philanthropists, non-profit organizations and corporations, the UNF Foundation has established merit and need-based scholarships for UNF students.
How to apply
No application is required for most UNF Foundation scholarships! We have made the scholarship process easy with ScholarshipUniverse.
- You'll be automatically matched 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.
- Want to maximize your scholarship opportunities? To ensure you are considered for as many scholarships as possible, log into ScholarshipUniverse and answer all matching questions that end in "(UNF)".
Tip: As new scholarships are added, additional matching questions will be available in ScholarshipUniverse. Log in on a regular basis to keep your question bank up to date!
Non-UNF Scholarships
UNF has a new scholarship matching platform called ScholarshipUniverse. Not only will you be automatically matched for UNF scholarships through ScholarshipUniverse, the platform can also help you search for external scholarships, offered by non-UNF affiliated organizations. This platform matches students to scholarships based on questions you answer.
When you're ready to start applying, click on the ScholarshipUniverse button below. You will then log in using your UNF credentials. Start answering questions by selecting the Questions menu option on the left side. Scholarship matches will then display and you can select Apply to be redirected to a specific scholarship's application page.
You must already have a UNF student ID number to use the ScholarshipUniverse platform.
