Eligibility
To be eligible for scholarships and assistantships, students must be enrolled full-time at the University of Florida (12 semester hours) at the time the award becomes effective. Some awards are restricted to students with demonstrated financial need. The minimum grade point average (GPA) to be considered for most awards is a 3.0, unless otherwise specified.

Duration of Award
Awards are for the Fall 2012 and Spring 2013 semesters. Awards of $650 or less are awarded in full at the beginning of the Fall semester. For awards greater than $650, half of the award is given each semester. Awards may be discontinued at the end of one semester if a student's overall GPA falls below a 3.0. Assistantships may be terminated for unsatisfactory performance. Many scholarships may be renewed for more than one year, but students must re-apply by the deadline each year to be considered.
