Page: National Merit Finalists/Benacquisto Scholarship
UF offers a $500 annual scholarship to all National Merit® Finalists that indicate UF as their first-choice institution with the National Merit® Corporation by their deadline. This scholarship qualifies as a college-sponsored scholarship for the Benacquisto Scholarship offered to in-state and, this year, extended to out-of-state students named as finalists by the Florida Department of Education. The scholarship covers the remaining institutionally-posted cost of attendance after Bright Futures (if eligible) and the qualifying National Merit® Scholarship are applied.
