Hello everyone. I am a very-probable NMSF. I am OOS for UF. I just wanted to know the precise steps(NMF application, NMF notification, Acceptance/Rejection UF, NMF college award, deadline for first-choice, Benacquisto etc.). Please be very detailed in describing each and every stage(of course this involves many assumptions). This would be very helpful for my admissions thinking. Thanks.

Thanks for the info. On UF’s website, it says in-state COA covered. Does that mean OOS not a full ride? That is all I need to know now.
Still a full ride for oos

That is what I hoped. But what if the residency changes?
Idk what you mean by “residency changes”
All OOS Benacquisto scholars receive a waiver of OOS fees from the participating Florida schools, including UF.
OK sounds good. FSU looks better ngl due to COVID funding uncertainty.
