Seminole97, are you in-state or out? Scholarships at both schools are very competitive.

First, in-state tuition is about the same at both schools. OOS tuition is much higher at UF ($28,420 a year) vs. FSU ($21,570 a year)

Use the following link for FSU. If you’re OOS, the tuition waivers are worth far more than the $9,600 scholarship. Check out the FAQ link at the bottom of the page.

[FSU Admissions | Freshman | Finances | Freshman Scholarships](FSU Admissions | Error 404 page not found)

Use the following link for UF. UF offers OOS scholarships (not waivers). In comparison to FSU, take into account the savings from the OOS waivers vs. the $ from the UF scholarships.

[University of Florida - Admissions](Scholarships | UF Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships)

The dollar amounts are reflective of the awards made to members of the 2013 freshman class:
Office of Admissions Alumni Scholarship: $8,000 per year
Sunshine Scholarship: $16,000 per year
Gator Nation Scholarship: $20,000 per year

Scholarships are very competitive at both schools (a bit more at UF), but OOS scholarships/waivers are easier to win than an in-state scholarship.

Both schools have a $30 application fee, so you may want to apply to both to see which one offers the best scholarship (or, since both are selective admissions school, which one may offer you admission).

Good Luck!
