Does UF require students receiving MERIT scholarships to fill out FASFA? Fsu-no ; UCF-yes

Seems crazy to make parents with FL prepaid, Bright Futures and a merit scholarship apply for Federal money don’t need or want, better used elsewhere of off chance offered something.

I’ve confirmed with FSU they stopped requiring FASFA years ago but UCF says they need it or will lose merit scholarship.

I understand UF awards few merit scholarships so this is mainly about FASFA being a source of determining eligible to receive MERIT aid and if UCF is the outlier.

Thanks.

You do not need to complete the FASFA to be eligible for Merit Scholarships at UF.
