University of Florida Presidential Scholarships

In-state freshmen admitted to the University of Florida who apply by the November 1 priority deadline are automatically considered for Presidential merit scholarships using the same holistic academic review as admission. About 10% of admitted freshmen receive a merit scholarship. Past recipients typically fall in the upper range of the middle 50 percent of admitted students or higher, with strong resumes and essays; meeting profile numbers does not guarantee an award.

Tiers include Presidential ($5,000 per year), Presidential Gold ($8,000 per year), and Presidential Platinum ($10,000 per year), each renewable for four years.

No separate scholarship application is required, and no additional materials may be submitted for review. Offers are emailed and posted to the status page by mid-March.
