The Central Florida Gator Club, an affiliate organization of the University of Florida’s
Alumni Association, is pleased to announce the offering of eight new scholarships. Six
of the eight will be in the amount of $2,000.00 each for deserving high school seniors in
Orange, Osceola, or Seminole County who have received acceptance to the University of
Florida. The seventh scholarship in the amount of $3,000.00 is reserved for the child of a
University of Florida Alumni Association / CFGC member. The eighth scholarship is in
the amount of $3,000.00 and will be awarded to a graduate of the University of Florida
who has been accepted to or is currently enrolled in a Master’s program at the University
of Florida.
UF ALUMNI ASSOCIATION NOTE: A degree from the University of Florida is not
a requisite for Alumni Associate membership. Many UFAA members have joined as
Friends of the University. Parents who may choose to join UFAA by the application
deadline would qualify their child for the larger award designated for a UFAA member.
Students who are not selected for this award are then placed in consideration for one of
the six scholarships awarded to nonmembers.
