Florida Scholarships

Scholarships are awards based on academic achievement, but financial need may also be considered. Scholarships do not have to be repaid, and do not require recipients to perform services to receive them. They are considered gift aid. Scholarships are awarded by various sources such as the university, the state, and individual colleges and departments, and private companies and individuals.
