Student Funding and
Financial Assistance
|
|
The University of Central Florida offers a
variety of funding opportunities. Included among these are Fellowships and
Assistantships. University fellowships are primarily awarded by the Graduate College
and assistantships by the individual departments. The Graduate College's
Fellowship and Financial Service offices is an excellent resource for
identifying what resources are available to students. |
Assistantships for teaching and research vary from department to
department and offer not only financial support but exposure to
experiential and research opportunities. Additionally, UCF offers
federal financial assistance.

Online Resources to Search for Fellowships
 |
The web offers a number of on-line options for researching fellowship
opportunities. When doing research for fellowships, remember
that you should never have to pay someone to look for funding.
Once you have decided on a fellowship that you are interested in
pursuing, make sure that you send in a complete package (keep a
checklist of the items needed) and be aware of the deadlines.
GOOD LUCK! |
