Must I apply for academic scholarships or grants at UF after I mail my FAFSA?
At UF, no separate application is required for Admissions Office scholarships based solely on academic merit. All students who have a complete admissions application on file by the UF Admissions Office deadline are automatically considered. Students are notified directly by that office of eligibility. For more information on Admissions Office scholarships, you may want to visit UF Admissions.
Scholarships and grants awarded by the UF financial aid office are based on financial need as demonstrated from the results of the FAFSA. If you file a 2002-03 FAFSA and meet our “On-time” Financial Aid Application Deadline, you will automatically be considered for need-based scholarships and grants.
See the Financial Aid Calendar for application deadlines.
The normal time-frame for receiving award notification is mid-March through early May. See Scholarship Headquarters more information about scholarships awarded through the financial aid office.
