Well UCF has 3 different scholarships: Gold, Silver, and Bronze. I’m sure you can figure out which one gives the most money lol. Unfortunately, UCF does not list the requirements/average stats for each one anywhere on their website but based on my own stats and those of friends and other people I’ve seen on this site, you should definitely be in line for the Gold. The only listed minimum is that for any Pegasus scholarship you must have at least a 3.0 GPA. My stats, in case you need the reference are as follows:

1420/1600 and 2050/2400 SAT
4.0 UW GPA and 5.4 Weighted GPA

The Pegasus Scholarships are done in set amounts but vary depending on whether you’re OOS or not. Gold is $10,000 over 4 years (aka $2,500 a year) Silver is … umm … well I’m not quite sure since UCF doesn’t list it but I’ll say around $8,000 and Bronze will probably be around $6,000. However, like I stated before, UCF has 2 different sets of Pegasus scholarships. The amounts I listed are for in-state students like myself since it would cover a reasonable amount of my costs at the in-state rate. But for OOS students like you, $2,500 a year isn’t much, which is why the Pegasus Gold for OOS is worth more. What that amount is I don’t know =/ Sorry for all the missing answers, but contacting UCF with an email or a call may be the best way to find these exact figures since for whatever reason they chose not to list specifics online.
