Seek out and apply for scholarships during your senior year of high school or during the months before you transfer to UCF from another college.

Here are some of the awards available.

Freshman Pegasus Awards

If you’re applying as a high school student, you will automatically be considered for a UCF Pegasus Scholarship or other admission award. The selection process is competitive, as fewer that 25 percent of our students receive an offer. If we offer you a scholarship, we will contact you by mail and through your myUCF account.

Provost Award

One of our most prestigious scholarships, the Provost Award is offered to Florida residents with outstanding academic credentials. Awarded to less than 10 percent of the entering freshman class, this award also includes the benefit of admission to The Burnett Honors College upon completion of the Honors application.

National Merit, National Achievement and National
Hispanic Awards

Students designated as a National Achievement Scholar, National Merit Scholar, or National Hispanic Scholar should contact the staff of The Scholars Program via e-mail at Luke.vanBlaricom@ucf.edu or call (407) 823-6179.

Transfer Scholarship Awards

If you are applying with an A.A. degree from a Florida public community/state college, you may be eligible to apply for a UCF Transfer Scholarship.

To be considered, you must:

• Submit a UCF Transfer Scholarship Application by the published deadline
• Transfer to UCF with an A.A. degree from a Florida public community/state college during the fall semester
• Have a minimum cumulative 3.5 GPA by the scholarship application deadline
• Enroll full-time at UCF for the fall semester

Qualified applicants can receive the UCF Transfer Scholarship only once. Dual enrollment students earning their AA and high school diploma at the same time do not qualify for this scholarship, but will automatically be considered for a UCF freshman scholarship based upon academic credentials.

Transfer scholarship applications for Fall 2014 will be made available here in spring 2014. The deadline to submit the application is mid-April. Once the application is made available, please refer to it for specific details.

For more information on this award, contact the Scholarship Coordinator at scholarships@ucf.edu.

All Florida Academic Team Scholarship (AFAT)

UCF offers two AFAT awards depending on a student’s team designation as determined by the Florida Department of Education and Phi Theta Kappa.

To confirm your AFAT eligibility, please review the list published by PTK and locate your team and name. (If you’re not listed as a team member, you are ineligible for these awards.)
