You may be eligible for the Board of Trustees (BOT) Scholarship if you are taking prerequisite coursework that is not covered by financial aid.

BOT students fall into one of three categories - 
  2. The student has already graduated and is taking only prerequisites
  3. The student has already graduated and is taking prerequisites and other courses in their new program

You must:

  • Be a Florida resident
  • You are not required to be considered a degree-seeking student
  • If you are considered degree-seeking, only credit hours, up to six (6), that are not within your current degree program will be considered.  If you are not considered degree-seeking, up to six (6) credit hours will be considered
  • You are enrolled in prerequisite coursework that is not eligible for financial aid, in preparation for entering your next academic program
  • Have at least a 2.0 Program GPA
  • Have at least a 67% Completion Ratio
  • Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) & complete Verification if selected
  • Demonstrate need as a result of the FAFSA  OR  have a 3.0 Program GPA
  • Meet all financial aid eligibility requirements, except the degree-seeking requirement
  • No minimum enrollment required
  • Classes can be lower division, upper division or a combination of both

    Financial Assistance Services will verify eligibility upon completion of the application.

    The scholarship will pay for tuition and fees for up to six (6) credit hours after all other possible financial aid and scholarships have been applied.

    If you meet all eligibility requirements, a Board of Trustees Scholarship will be added to your financial aid award package with an initial placeholder amount of $0.00. The actual scholarship amount is reviewed and updated two to three times per week. The amount can remain at $0.00, increase, decrease, or be reduced to $0.00 based on changes in your enrollment, whether your classes count toward your current degree program and updates to your financial aid award package.

    The Board of Trustees Scholarship will be awarded for ONE TERM only. If you received the Board of Trustees Scholarship in a past term, you are considered to have met this requirement and not eligible for further funding.

    If you meet the requirements for both Board of Trustees and Promise scholarships, Promise eligibility will be reviewed for any credit hours within your current degree program.  BOT eligibility will be reviewed for any credit hours not within your current degree program or if you are not considered degree-seeking.
