About the Florida Opportunity Scholar Program
The Florida Opportunity Scholars Program is an initiative to ensure first-generation students from low income families have the resources they need to be academically successful at the University of Florida. The goal of the program is to retain these students and have them graduate at rates equal to or greater than the undergraduate population at large.
We know that students who are the first in their families to attend college have unique needs and challenges. The Florida Opportunity Scholars Program was developed to expand the opportunities for academically prepared first-generation students to attend UF without being overwhelmed with the additional costs (e.g., books and fees, meal and housing, transportation, miscellaneous expenses) of attending college. A number of support strategies are in place for this group to ensure their academic success, engagement at UF, social interaction, and a sense of belonging to the UF community.
