Apply for 2025-26 Financial Aid
Although you must be accepted for enrollment at UF before you are considered for financial aid, you should apply for aid before being admitted. Applying for financial aid at UF begins with the FAFSA, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Complete the FAFSA at studentaid.gov.
In order for UF Student Financial Affairs to consider you for a financial aid package, you must be a degree-seeking admitted student. MORE INFO
