Impact on Aid due to unemployment

The UCF NMS scholarship also allows for 2 semesters of deferment (though they seem to use the term “deferment” to refer to a break) for various purposes including an internship/co-op:

Be careful with this. UCF may allow the deferment but Benacquisto may not. From FAQs:

“I am eligible for the Benacquisto Scholarship but do not want to start my postsecondary career in the Fall. Can I delay accepting the initial scholarship award?No. Eligible students must begin enrollment at an eligible postsecondary institution no later than the fall term following high school graduation to receive the scholarship award.”
