SCHOLARSHIP PROCESS
T he Santa Fe College Foundation offers a variety of scholarships to students graduating from Alachua or Bradford counties
and all other students entering SF. Eligibility requirements vary depending on the degree program and the scholarships
selected. Foundation scholarships are based on scholastic achievement, special talent or financial aid, depending on the
specific scholarship criteria. Scholarships are considered part of the student’s financial aid package and must be reported
to the Financial Aid office. Scholarship awards vary from $500 to $2,000 per academic year payable during the fall and spring
terms.
Students may apply for a maximum of three (3) scholarships as long as they meet the established criteria. Scholarship
applicants must have a minimum 2.0 GPA unless otherwise noted on the scholarship announcement. An academic transcript
must be attached to the application form. If college GPA is unavailable, high school transcripts must be provided. Completed
applications may either be mailed, hand delivered to one of the campus locations, or submitted from the college Web site
www.sfcollege.edu/scholarships.
Applications are available on Santa Fe’s Web site and at Alachua and Bradford county high schools. Scholarship recipients
