@hokiepokie2121 Congrats to your daughter! Make sure she accepts or extends sometime in the next 30 days.

My D2 also got the Knight’s Achievement for non-FL residents. I looked into it and it’s definitely one of the better ones. It lowers her cost of attendance significantly but keep in mind that a program of study at UCF can include a 5th year (not included in the scholarship) or at least a summer or two on campus (also not included). At least that’s true for my D2 who is planning a character animation major. All state colleges and universities require one summer in residence in the state of Florida. If you haven’t already, you can help your daughter check the current online undergraduate catalog for her major’s plan of study - that will help you both figure out how many credit hours will be expected per year and over the course of her time at UCF.

After checking all this out thoroughly I have come to the opinion that my D2’s education at UCF will have a net cost of about the same price as our in-state flagship - so it’s a pretty good deal for an OOS’er! (and better weather than Minnesota LOL). We are visiting the campus at the end of Feb. to check it out.
