Need
Based Out-of-State Waivers
Need
based out-of-state waivers are awarded to entering high school
graduates, transfer students and continuing UCF students who are
non-Florida residents. The awards are based on academic performance,
as well as financial need. There is no separate application to
receive this award. Students who apply for financial aid and have
been admitted to UCF are automatically considered for this award.
Application
Procedures:
Students must file a FAFSA and have the error-free results on
file with UCF. Awards are based on available funding, so students
should apply early for consideration. Awards are made to students
who meet all eligibility requirements.
General Eligibility Requirements:
• Must be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen
