The Office of Student Scholarship and Fellowship Advisement
(OSSFA) provides UCF students and alumni with information and advising
for major national and international fellowships and scholarships. We
serve as the campus representative for all scholarships requiring university
endorsement or nomination, including the Rhodes, Marshall, Truman, and
Goldwater. More information about the scholarships for which we advise
is available on our Prestigious Scholarships page. UCF also maintains a list of scholarships which can be found at http://finaid.ucf.edu/scholarships/list.html
Prestigious scholarships and fellowships aim to support those who will
become leaders in their disciplines, communities, or careers. In addition
to the national acclaim that is accorded to the recipients, the monetary
awards associated with these scholarships can cover the costs associated
with graduate training at the very best graduate programs in the United
States or abroad. Because competition for prestigious scholarships is
fierce and preparation is both intensive and extensive, the preparation
for competitive applicants can begin as early as freshman year. OSSFA
works closely with students who foresee a scholarship in their future,
guiding them and charting their progress long before the semester of
application. We encourage interested students to read through the Guide
to Prestigious Scholarships, and contact
us for more information or to
schedule an appointment.
