The Lombardi Scholarship is the premier undergraduate merit scholarship at the University of Florida. Housed within the University Honors Program, this distinctive scholarship delivers curated life-changing experiences and a strong professional and academic community of highly motivated peers and mentors. Besides renewable financial aid, other benefits of this scholarship include a sense of community between the scholars, as well as many great opportunities (including summer enrichment experiences, study abroad and leadership training programs). Applicants must be incoming freshmen (both high school seniors and homeschooled students are eligible). Transfer students are ineligible, but students who already have an Associate of Arts degree (60 credits) are able to apply. This is also open to international students.
