Florida Incentive Scholarship Program

The Florida Incentive Scholarship (FIS) is an aid program that began in the 2014–15 academic year. Students graduating high school in the 2013–14 academic year (or later) and recognized as National Merit or National Achievement Scholars are eligible to receive the Florida Incentive Scholarship.

The amount of the scholarship at UT is equal to the highest institutional cost of attendance in the state university system, minus the sum of the Bright Futures award and National Merit/Achievement Award. The award is available to students enrolled full-time, and in the fall and spring semesters only.

Students must notify their financial aid counselor of the National Merit or National Achievement Scholar designation to receive the FIS scholarship. At this time, there is no other notification mechanism available.
