<p>Do you have to apply for scholarship money or will they automatically give you some?</p>
<p>Usually colleges offer, other scholarships must be applied for</p>
<p>has anyone here received a merit scholarship from UF?</p>
<p>i haven't heard of anyone being offered anything from UF yet but have heard of other schools like FSU and UCF offering money/scholarships</p>
<p>What about the Florida Opportunity Scholarship? Anyone know any information about it?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I'm an Opportunity Scholar -- it's offered to first generation college students (florida residents) whose family income is less than $40,000. You have to maintain a 3.0 GPA to keep it.</p>
<p>I qualify for the Florida Opportunity Scholarship but I have yet to receive any information about it.</p>
<p>i dont think uf gives merit-based scholarships to freshmen anymore except 1000/yr for national merit. the lombardi scholarship is partially need-based i think.</p>
<p>No! that kinda sucks...i did not receive national merit but i thought it was a lot more that 1000/year for those who received it</p>
<p>it used to be much more up untill class of 2007.</p>
<p>exactly, and now with the upcoming tuition fee of $1000/yr, the national merit scholarship is pretty much nill.</p>
<p>im so jealous of class of 2010. they were there for the championship season and they got all the national merit money!</p>
