UCF Admissions told me at the open house today that the scholarship committee just started working on merit awards. She didn’t have a date but said you could email them at scholarships@ucf.edu and they could give an exact date. (Though online, I found this email: sfascholarships@ucf.edu). I did mention what @Trixiet was told and she said they’d be OUT of money by January/February and we’d hear long before that.
Guess they are just a little late this year. Or they were early last year.
Anyone out of state know anything or concerned about how the new tax bill might impact scholarships? If we get the instate tuition waiver, will parents have to pay taxes on all that money, if so, it kills this for us. 
Not according to this. http://www.finaid.org/scholarships/taxability.phtml
@UCFin2018 that is some bs. “Just started working on it” man thats going to take a month at least going thru everyone.
Well, I’m holding out hope for 11/30. Seems like if it wasn’t 11/15, it was 11/30 in the past. Kinda frustrating though.
Just checked this morning. Still nothing here. @UCFin2018 , thanks so much for asking about it. I believe UCF students have classes today and tomorrow, so maybe the scholarship office is working too. It’s nice to have others to compare notes. Thanks again!
Remember they were closed for almost two weeks because of the hurricane. They didn’t put out acceptances at that time, so they are just behind. I’m waiting on Orientation dates- anyone have a status on that?
There are scholarships up. I just checked an hour ago and my son was awarded the Provost Scholarship. It is pretty vague on the details and doesn’t tall you what its worth online. My guess is that it will be in a letter they will eventually send him.
Darn, I still have nothing. Anybody else? I hope it’s not a bad sign.
@sdevorefl if it is the same as last year, Provost is 30k over 4years. Congratulations!!
Would you mind posting stats for everyone?
@UCFin2018 I wouldn’t worry about it yet. I think this is the first day and like someone said up there, it’s going to take them at least a month to get through everyone. I also just checked and I don’t have anything either.
Thank you @UCFin2018

Are you accepting admission? Probably Not. He wants out of Florida and I can’t say I blame him. Waiting to hear from one school that he applied to ED. Fingers crossed.
Good luck to all.
By the way it is a little confusing where to look. When in the Student Center either look to the right side of the page where it says “Things to Do” and if there is a scholarship it will be listed. Or, look to where it says “Undergraduate Admissions” in the Student Center you may see it there.
Hi everyone— I just checked and received a Pegasus gold scholarship. Does anyone know how much money that translates to? Thanks and good luck to all!
Congratulations @sf0617 !! Last year it was 14k over 4 years, so $3500 a year.

Type and amount of Scholarship Awarded: OOS Pegasus Gold
Are you accepting admission? Probably Not (waiting to hear back from my ED)
My D is OOS and was just awarded the pegasus silver scholarship for non-residents… Very excited, but not sure what this means. Will this waive OOS tuition? I was expecting to see knights achievement waiver and it doesn’t say that. Will this scholarship give us in state tuition or just a reduction of OOS tuition?
Wow, I thought OOS couldn’t get Pegasus Scholarships (Bronze/Silver etc), just Knights Achievement. It’s either a mistake or a change. You might need to contact them. Silver is a lot less than a KA award.
@UCFin2018 I think it may be a change, since I am OOS as well and received the pegasus gold
Yeah, looks like they did. https://finaid.ucf.edu/types-of-aid/ka-program/
My son is OOS and also received Pegasus Gold. It does say Pegasus Gold for Non FL Resident. I don’t see where it shows how much the scholarship is tho.
