Is the FAFSA required to apply for scholarships?
Many scholarships require you to file the FAFSA. It is highly recommended that students complete the FAFSA in order to be considered for the best award package.

What scholarships can I apply for at UCF?
Beginning in January of each year, students should check the online scholarship listing our office displays for available scholarships (most are for the upcoming academic year). This scholarship listing is published each month on our Web site, and is posted on a bulletin board outside our office in Millican Hall. By visiting our Web site, a student can link to a free national scholarship search. Students can also contact their family's employers, clubs and organizations, to see if they offer scholarships.

What mailing address should I provide for my scholarship donor?
When mailing scholarship recipients’ checks to UCF, please use our official address listed below. Please request that the donor include your full name and social security or student identification number (PID) on the check.

Mailing Address:
Office of Student Financial Assistance
4000 Central Florida Blvd.
Millican Hall, Room 120
Orlando, FL 32816-0113

How can I get verification of enrollment sent to my scholarship donor?
Students may obtain their enrollment verification online through MyUCF.
Go to http://registrar.ucf.edu for additional information on how to obtain enrollment certification.

Where do I get a fee invoice to send to my scholarship donor?
Go to the MyUCF Web site at http://connect.ucf.edu (For Students- Financial Services-Fee Invoice & E-Pay), any kiosk on campus, or to the college of your major.

My private donor scholarship is renewable. Why is it not posted automatically each year to my financial aid awards?
In order for a renewable scholarship to be posted, a copy of the renewal letter from the donor must be submitted. Most scholarships that are renewable require the recipient to continue to meet the criteria specified at the time the scholarship was originally awarded. The process for private scholarship renewal is handled by each donor; therefore, documentation from the donor must be submitted to confirm that the donor has renewed the scholarship.

Where can I get a receipt for tuition reimbursement of fees paid?
On the Web or a campus Kiosk, you can find and print your fee invoice, which will outline your charges and payments. If you are unable to access this data online call (407) 823-2433, or stop by Student Accounts, Millican Hall, Room, 107.
