Financial Aid

Students must seek their own sources of funding. The MSM office will NOT do this for you.

Financial aid in the form of federal loans/grants is available to U.S. Citizens/Permanent Residents. Please review the information on the Student Financial Affairs web site for loan/grant information. You can eliminate some potential frustration and help the process go smoothly by applying early and taking time to carefully read all information. Keep addresses updated with the Registrar's Office through myUFL and ISIS. All correspondences (and checks) are mailed to addresses on file with that office. Students must fill out the current year financial aid applications in order to get aid for the summer. For fall and spring, an application for the next school year must be filled out. Please contact one of the Warrington College of Business Administration Financial Aid Counselors located in Hough Hall for loan/grant information. The MSM program cannot assist you in this matter.

Please refer to the Links to Aid for International Students and to the UF International Center website for information regarding financial aid, tuition waivers, campus employment, etc. The MSM office is unable to assist you with these issues.

Scholarships

The MSM program has extremely limited funds to offer small scholarships to outstanding students. This money is available for U.S. Citizens/Permanent Residents only. Candidates are identified in the admission process and may be called in for an interview. We do not offer assistantships or fellowships because we do not use Master's students to teach undergraduate courses in the Hough Graduate School/Warrington College of Business Administration.

Scholarships Recipients Profile (From 2009)

Mean Upper GPA: 3.84
Mean Cumulative GPA: 3.8

A strong scholarship candidate possesses:
Outstanding undergraduate performance with major/rigor taken into consideration, very strong test scores, and candidates with full resumes in the area of leadership, community service, campus activities, research activity, or relevant work and internships. Recommendations are a major factor in scholarship decisions as they can attest to personality, work ethic, motivation, creativity, stability, and social consciousness.
