The Process

How to Apply

Students may search and apply for scholarships using the A2O: Access to Opportunities online scholarship application system annually.

A20 provides access to hundreds of scholarships, including some exclusively for College of Community Innovation and Education students.

  • Begin by logging into A2O and completing a short general application. Afterwards, A2O will automatically match you with college scholarships you qualify for.
  • Search for other scholarship opportunities by browsing scholarships awarded through the Office of Student Financial Assistance. Under opportunities, select "ours" for UCF scholarships and external for non-UCF affiliated opportunities.
  • Carefully read the scholarship application criteria.
  • Complete the required actions. For example, upload an essay or resume if required.

Accepting Scholarships

  • Scholarship recipients will receive an email notification regarding their awarded scholarship.
  • Recipients must accept the offered scholarship in A2O.
  • Before the scholarship can be awarded, a thank you note to the donor must be uploaded to A2O.
  • We invite you to share this scholarship's impact on your academic journey. Please send your photos, testimonials and a completed model release form to CCIEscholarships@ucf.edu.
