Financial Aid Programs
Online students at the University of Florida are eligible for consideration for a wide range of federal, state and institutional aid as administered by the Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships (SFA), which also administers a limited number of privately funded scholarships. These include:
- Grants. Grants do not need to be repaid and are awarded to students showing the greatest financial need.
- Scholarships. Scholarships do not need to be repaid and do not require recipients to perform services.
- Student Employment. Students are offered aid in exchange for a service. The Student Employment Office assists enrolled students seeking part-time employment through various job programs.
- Loans. Loans are a form of aid that must be repaid. UF primarily offers student loans through the Federal Direct Loan Program, but there are a number of other loan programs available at UF.
- Non-SFA Administered Aid. Numerous aid programs are administered by entities outside of SFA including State of Florida aid programs, SFA Resource Center scholarships, academic scholarships, and endowed scholarships.
You can find more information about financial aid options on the Student Financial Aid and Scholarships website.
