Student Science Training Program (SSTP)
Financial Aid
Is Financial Aid available?
Monies donated for UF-SSTP scholarship use are limited and vary from year to year, and often have very specific requirements for distribution outlined by the donor. Sometimes the number and amounts of available scholarships are not known until after the UF-SSTP application deadline. Regardless of your financial situation, we encourage you to complete the application procedure (including the Financial Aid application) by the submission deadline. The information you provide on your application will be cross-referenced with any possible scholarships available and you will be notified as soon as possible as to the outcome. Students who want to attend but need financial assistance should not count on being funded; but rather, should be active in seeking and raising funds on their own to ensure their attendance.
What can I do to raise money on my own?
You can view and print suggested guidelines for raising funds for your UF-SSTP experience here. Participants from past years have been very successful in raising their own funding by using these suggestions.
