University of Florida Scholarships for USF International Students, USA

Undergraduate Admissions offers competitive, merit-based scholarships to new international students each year. International students are eligible for non-need based scholarships. International students must provide appropriate visa/immigration documentation to the International Services Office prior to receiving funds.

Some of these international freshman (in-state freshman) and transfer scholarships may be combined with other university scholarships as well as scholarships you may receive from outside sources.

If you are from an eligible Caribbean or Latin American nation or U.S. territory (including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands), you may be considered for in-state freshman and transfer scholarships. If you are selected for a scholarship, you will be temporarily reclassified as Florida residents for tuition purposes as long as you retain the scholarship.
