Info for current undergraduate students
For an undergraduate, applying for financial aid at the university of Florida begins with the FAFSA, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
File your 2024-25 FAFSA as soon as possible after December 2023. File your 2025-26 FAFSA as soon as possible on or after December 1, 2024. You must complete the FAFSA every year.
How?
SFA encourages students to apply for financial aid online using StudentAid.gov. Applying online saves time, and it also offers instant editing of your application, which helps to prevent errors.
In order to file a FAFSA online, you’ll also need to apply for an FSA ID using StudentAid.gov. The FSA ID allows you to access your online FAFSA, sign your FAFSA electronically, and make corrections to your FAFSA.
When?
Although you must be accepted for enrollment at UF before you are considered for financial aid, you should apply for aid before being admitted. Complete the FAFSA at StudentAid.gov.
File your 2024-25 FAFSA as soon as possible after December 2023. File your 2025-26 FAFSA as soon as possible on or after December 1, 2024.
In order for us to consider you for a financial aid package, you must be a degree seeking admitted student.
Current students will receive their 2025-26 financial aid offers in June 2025.
Do I Qualify?
Students who complete a FAFSA and list UF as a “college of choice” are automatically considered for all aid programs administered by SFA. One or more of the various types of aid (scholarships, grants, loans, and employment) are usually offered, alone or in combination, to eligible students.
