Hey all. So I've lived in Florida my whole life, and I'm thinking about applying to the University of Florida. Can someone tell me what the in-state tuition looks like? Also, are there any scholarships specific to in-state students? Any detail would help.
Hello! As an in-state resident, you definitely have some cost advantages when considering the University of Florida. For the 2024-2025 academic year, the estimated tuition and fees for Florida residents is about $6,380 per year. This cost doesn't include housing, meals, and other expenses. However, this is significantly lower than out-of-state tuition, which can reach over $28,000 per year.
In terms of scholarships, the University of Florida offers several opportunities specifically for in-state residents. The Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program is one of these opportunities. It's a lottery-funded scholarship to reward Florida high school graduates for academic achievements. There are varying eligibility requirements, but if you meet them, this scholarship can significantly lower or even cover your full tuition costs.
Another one is the Benacquisto Scholarship, which covers the full cost of attendance for National Merit Finalists and leaves you with money left over each semester.
Remember, always check the scholarship's requirements and deadlines on the university's official website for the most accurate and updated information. I hope this helps, and best of luck with your application!
