Do I have to complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) to receive a UCF scholarship?
Yes, UCF must receive the completed results of the FAFSA from scholarship recipients. Although our awards are strictly merit based, UCF must account for all funds we release to students and the FAFSA is used for that purpose. You do not risk losing an admissions scholarship if you do not demonstrate financial need. Please contact the Office of Student Financial Assistance for more information regarding the FAFSA and financial aid.
