FAQs — Dean’s Office Undergraduate Scholarships

Can I apply for more than one Dean’s Office scholarship?

Yes. You may select up to three (3) scholarships through the CLAS Dean’s Office, but only one (1) can be awarded. We recommend reviewing the requirements for each and applying for the ones that you feel you are most qualified for.

Where do I submit my completed application?

Applications can be submitted through the application portal. Late or incomplete applications will not be accepted.

I made a mistake on my application, can I resubmit it?

No, once the application has been submitted through the portal, it cannot be resubmitted. If you wish to make changes to a submitted application, please send an e-mail to scholarships@clas.ufl.edu with your request.

I’m in the Innovation Academy. Can I still apply?

Yes. As long as you will be a full-time student (taking at least 12 credits), you are eligible to apply. If selected as a recipient, you will be given your award during the summer term.

I’m in UF Online and/or PaCE. Can I still apply?

Yes. As long as you will be a full-time student (taking at least 12 credits) during the awarded semester, you are eligible to apply.

What if I am graduating before this fall (or this summer if in Innovation Academy)?

If you’re not going to be enrolled at UF as a full-time student in the relevant term, then you will be unable to apply for a scholarship.

I received a Dean’s Office scholarship last year. Am I allowed to reapply for the same one?

Yes. As long as you will be a full-time student, you are welcome to reapply for a scholarship that you previously received or a different one.

I received a Dean’s Office scholarship last year. Why is the amount different this year?

Based on the funds available through our office, the amounts awards may vary year after year.

Should I submit a resume or cover letter with my application?

Resumes may be submitted with your scholarship application as a way to share extracurricular activities, awards, and work experience. Cover letters will be discarded.

When will I be notified about if I received a scholarship?

All scholarship applicants, regardless of decision, will be notified of their status in early to mid- to late-May.

I just transferred to UF. Can I apply?

You may apply for a scholarship as a transfer student if you have completed at least one (1) semester at UF as a degree seeking student and have established a minimum 3.0 UF GPA.

I have been approved for a reduced course load. Can I still apply?

Because each case may be unique to an individual’s situation and our guidelines, please contact the Scholarship Coordinator in the Dean’s Office at (352) 392-0780 or scholarships@clas.ufl.edu regarding questions of this nature.

I don’t know which scholarship to apply for. What would you recommend?

Unfortunately we do not have enough scholarships to award to the amount of applicants that we receive each year. It is up to you to decide which scholarship you feel most qualified for and think you have the best chance of winning.

Do I need a completed FAFSA to be eligible to apply?

No, a completed FAFSA is recommended, but is not required to apply.

I have a question not listed here.
