[quote=Anonymous]UCF gives a different package to OOS than what they used to. It’s probably considered a full ride since most kids get a refund, but it really depends on the options a student picks. The last two years it’s been a flat $20,000 a year for 4 years, instate tuition for 30 credits a year, guaranteed on-campus priority housing and guaranteed admittance to the Honors College (if they apply to it). Excess money gets refunded to the student’s bank account. Tuition is $212/credit, so $6360 for 30 credits a year. On campus housing runs about $6-10k annually depending on the dorm selected. No meal plan is required, but they are available from $4-6k/year.
Each year they offer it to less OOS students. Last year they offered 30 OOS scholarships. Not sure how many they’re offering this year.

Florida as a state offers an instate NMF package that is the full cost of attendance (the number that is padded to include transportation costs, personal expenses, etc). That Benacquisto scholarship was offered for a couple years to OOS students, but that was stopped, and now each Florida public has their own OOS NMF package.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UCF gives a full ride +; most kids get a refund after tuition, housing, and even a meal plan (which is not mandatory). NMF have priority housing, so kids get the on-campus 4br 2ba apartments with private bedrooms, living room, and full kitchen. The Honors College only takes about 500 kids each year, so it’s small but active with courses in kids majors, not fluff stuff, and plenty of social opportunities. [/quote]
Do they still give an automatic full ride to out of state students? It’s not clear from their website.

All Florida states used to give NMF full rides but changed it a couple years ago. [/quote][/quote]
