Thanks to thoughtful and generous donations from alumni, community partners, and friends, the UCF College of Sciences awards numerous scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students each year. These scholarships generally provide access to free money and do not need to be repaid beyond a simple thank you. Scholarships are awarded for a variety of reasons including academic achievements, campus and community involvement, and financial need.
How do I find a scholarship?

Using this site, you can also gain access to hundreds of scholarships open to all majors across campus and external scholarships that have been validated by the Office of Student Financial Assistance. You will need to complete A2O’s application once a year to automatically match with scholarships for which you qualify. Be sure to check the system periodically as scholarships may be added throughout the year.
