University of North Florida scholarships available?

I'm considering the University of North Florida as an option and I'm really interested in what scholarships might be available. Are there any specific scholarships for certain majors or for out-of-state students?

The University of North Florida (UNF) offers a range of scholarship opportunities for both in-state and out-of-state students, catering to different academic backgrounds and fields of study.

Firstly, UNF provides a number of merit-based scholarships like the 'Presidential Scholarships'. These are awarded based on standardized test scores and GPA. They also offer 'Out-of-State Tuition Scholarships' which help non-Florida residents by reducing their tuition rates to those similar to Florida residents rates.

There are also scholarships specifically tied to certain majors. For instance, the 'Coggins Scholarship' is available for College of Business students, the 'Thompson Scholarship' is for College of Education and Human Services students, and 'Terry Presidential Scholarships' are for nursing majors.

Additionally, UNF has 'First Generation Scholarships' for the students who are the first in their family to attend college. They also offer departmental scholarships, which vary by the department and are based on criteria like GPA, class standing, financial need, etc.

Another option would be the 'UNF Foundation Competitive Merit-Based Scholarships', which are awarded annually and vary in award amount. These scholarships require a separate application and the deadline typically falls in mid-March.

Keep in mind that your FAFSA results may open the door to more need-based aid opportunities, so be sure to complete that as soon as possible each year. All of these scholarships have different eligibility criteria and application processes, so checking the UNF financial aid website or contacting their financial aid office directly could provide more specific guidance tailored to your situation.

It's also important to remember that scholarships may require a minimum GPA for renewal, so maintaining strong academic performance is key. Good luck with your scholarship search and application process!
