varies	USFCA - University of San Francisco	University Grants & Scholarships University Scholars New freshmen applicants for admission who are US citizens or permanent residents and who have demonstrated extraordinary scholarship and aptitude, based on their academic grade point average and SAT scores or ACT scores, are invited to enter USF as University Scholars . Scholars receive a renewable scholarship that pays a substantial portion of the cost of the academic year's tuition for up to eight semesters of undergraduate study at USF. To be considered, applicants for admission must apply no later than November 15 under the Early Action Plan for the following academic year. Renewal is automatic as long as scholars achieve a grade point average of 3.25 for each semester's work. University Tuition Grants & Named Scholarships The University provides tuition assistance to undergraduate students through its Tuition Grant Program. In addition, alumni and friends of the University have provided funds for tuition scholarship programs. Individual scholarships may be intended to benefit students pursuing a particular major or those who have achieved a specific GPA, but all of them require that recipients have demonstrated financial need. New students interested in applying for the coming Fall semester must file a FAFSA by February 1. Continuing students must complete the FAFSA by March 2. Athletic Scholarships Athletic Scholarships are offered for inter-collegiate participation in women's basketball, volleyball, soccer, golf and tennis, and in men's basketball, baseball, soccer, golf and tennis. Federal Grants Grants and scholarships are considered gift aid and do not have to be repaid. Most grant aid is based on some type of need-based eligibility requirement; therefore, you must complete the FAFSA to apply for most grants. Scholarships, on the other hand, are based on performance or excellence in a field of study, sport, etc. Sources of grants and scholarships include Federal, state, private, and institutional funds. Although grants and scholarships are a very desirable source of financial aid, their availability is generally limited. Federal Pell Grant Federal Pell Grants are awarded based upon the analysis of the FAFSA, cost-of-attendance, and enrollment status (full time or part time). Pell Grants are awarded only to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor's degree or professional degree. The maximum Pell Grant for 2005-2006 is $4,050.00. The maximum Pell Grant award can change each year based upon Congressional funding levels. At this present time the Pell Grant amount for 2006-2007 is not available yet.	Career Based	Varies

Please read the information and follow all instructions carefully, so you can make the application process work smoothly for you. All the forms, codes and addresses you need to apply are provided. FINANCIAL AID Financial aid for graduate students is available from a number of sources at the University of Florida. Many departments and colleges within UF offer scholarships, assistantships and fellowships to qualified students pursuing master's degrees and doctoral degrees. Contact your specific graduate program to find out what financial aid opportunities are available at the department and college level, and what is required to qualify for them. The Graduate School Fellowships: Graduate School fellowships are named in honor of Dr. Linton E. Grinter, who was Dean of the Graduate School, 1952-1969. Each year $785,000 is awarded to students in the form of Grinter Fellowships. The intent of the Grinter Fellowship is to facilitate the recruitment of truly exceptional graduate students to the University of Florida. Currently enrolled UF graduate students are not eligible, except in the particular case in which they will be entering a PhD (or other terminal degree) program for the first time. Ordinarily, the Grinter is limited to PhD students. Exceptions are made for those areas in the University that have a terminal degree different from the PhD (e.g. Master of Fine Arts, Architecture, Building Construction, and Landscape Architecture). Grinter Fellowships are not assistantships. No duties may be required of the student (except those duties associated with an assistantship held concurrently). Grinter Fellowship stipends are normally in the $2,000-$4,000 range. Continuation of the Grinter beyond the first year (up to a total of three years) is contingent upon satisfactory student progress. An annual report is made to the Graduate School in this regard for each student. Note: Students enrolled in the Colleges of Engineering and Law are not eligible for Grinter Fellowships.
