Admissions Overview

Scholarships

Graduate education is a costly investment. We highly encourage applicants to explore scholarship and funding opportunities both in and outside of the college to supplement the cost of tuition, fees, and living expenses. Though funding opportunities for international students are limited, the UF Student Financial Aid and Scholarships Office has compiled a list of some available options. Please visit the Student Financial Aid and Scholarships International Student Scholarship and International Students Financial Support Guidelines webpages for additional information.
