Does the Provost Scholarship then allow you to use BF for other expenses (like room board books) on top, or is Provost reduced by amount you get from BF?

Whether or not Scholarship money is make or break decision in attending UCF: I had already paid my tuition and orientation fees and was set on UCF anyway and I had been told by the financial aid office no more funding was available… but this is exactly what I needed and I’m super happy I didn’t miss out on the opportunity to get a scholarship! super excited!!

I thought they have rolling admissions why would it take so long for decision letter or am I wrong?

I honestly have no idea what took them so long for me. I was accepted late December and most people who applied/got accepted around the time I did got their scholarship decision letters MUCH earlier than I did, I had contacted the financial aid office quite a bit asking them what was going on and they kept saying to wait a few more weeks until just recently when I got something back finally lol. Must’ve fallen through the cracks or something I’m not really sure

@16mom828 hey, I know this thread is from last year but myhonors is kind of confusing me… under the freshman application tab it says “accepted” in the app decision area. Does that mean I was accepted to the honors college or is that just my general ucf acceptance status (as I was accepted to the university about a month ago)? Thanks!

The amount is spread over 4 years (8 semesters).

I know this is from last year but @tryin-n-strivin the same thing that happened to you is happening to me. I was accepted in October and I keep emailing and they still tell me to wait a few weeks. You can either reply or pm but did you ever find out why that happened?
