Our Opportunities

Welcome to A2O (Access to Opportunities): Where Scholarship Opportunities Present Themselves. To get started, please sign in with your UCF NID and Password. Note: Students must be admitted into the University with a paid seat deposit or a returning UCF student to be able to log into the platform.

Please note that most UCF Foundation Scholarship Opportunities will open for application in early Spring semester to be applied to the upcoming aid year (which begins in the following fall) per the UCF Scholarship Cycle. A select number of opportunities will be available for application following the Spring semester. It is your responsibility to monitor A2O frequently for additional scholarship opportunities and scholarship updates.

External scholarships opportunities are not restricted to the UCF Scholarship Cycle and may be available year-round.

A2O includes scholarships from most colleges/departments across campus. The college/department will be listed on each scholarship opportunity. Follow-up about the scholarship opportunity can be directed to the college/department listed.

First-Time Applicants:
Once you have logged in, you will be asked to complete a general application. After the application is completed, you will be considered for scholarships opportunities that you may qualify for based on responses and academic information. No further action is required for those scholarships. Once the general application is completed, you may be prompted for additional scholarship opportunities that you may qualify for but require additional information such as a resume, essay or documentation upload.

Citizenship restrictions: Students who are classified as DACA, TPS, or undocumented, are not eligible for UCF scholarship funds. Students must be of eligible status at time of application to be considered for internal scholarship opportunities.

All Applicants:
To browse ALL scholarships awarded through the Office of Student Financial Assistance, select “Ours” under Opportunities. To view scholarship opportunities filtered based on your responses to the general application, click Recommended under Opportunities. Please carefully read the descriptions and only apply for those scholarships for which you meet the basic criteria.

Note: Recommended opportunities will only be available once you have logged in and filled out the general application. Recommended opportunities will only populate with current opportunities. Depending on time of year, you may not see opportunities for your major.

The Deadline column indicates the deadline to complete the application to receive consideration. This is not the deadline to accept the award. An email may be sent from A2O@ucf.edu if selected for a scholarship opportunity.

Please complete application(s) to the best of your ability following guidelines set forth in the UCF Code of Conduct: https://scai.sdes.ucf.edu/student-rules-of-conduct/.

External Scholarship Opportunities:
To view a list of external scholarships, select “External” under the Opportunities sub-header. While efforts are made to vet scholarship opportunities before posting, the Office of Student Financial Assistance does not assume responsibility for external scholarships, or any information requested. For questions regarding external scholarships, please contact the organization offering the scholarship directly.

Reviewers:
UCF reviewers are required to log in through the “Applicant & Administrators” tab to complete the UCF Microsoft authentication. Reviewers MUST use their NID email and password, as these are the credentials linked to the Microsoft authenticator. Using any other email will result in an authentication error. If you encounter an error, please contact your college/department’s scholarship manager to confirm that your reviewer account has been set up with your NID email.
