Eligibility
To be eligible for scholarships and assistantships, a student’s primary major must be in the College of Journalism and Communications. The student 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 2017 and Spring 2018 semesters, or Spring and Summer 2018 semesters for Innovation Academy students. Awards may be discontinued at the end of one semester if a student’s overall GPA falls below a 3.0, or if the student graduates earlier than indicated on the application. 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.
