Updates Regarding LAC 

NEW AUGUST 2025 UPDATE:
The University of West Florida remains committed to supporting our current recipients of the Latin American-Caribbean (LAC) scholarship, as long as eligibility is maintained. While new LAC scholarships will not be offered, at this time, we will continue honoring existing awards.

What the LAC Scholarship Does

Currently, eligible students in from Latin American and Caribbean countries who receive a qualifying scholarship may be classified as in-state for tuition purposes while enrolled full-time and in good academic standing. 

For Current UWF LAC Recipients (Awarded Spring 2025 or Earlier)

  • Renewal eligibility: Your LAC award may be renewed for subsequent semesters if you:

    • were awarded the LAC Spring 2025 or earlier,

    • remain continuously enrolled each fall/spring (summer excluded), 

    • remain in the same undergraduate degree program,

    • meet the minimum cumulative GPA each term, and

    • do not qualify for in-state residency through other means

Future Applicants 

UWF is no longer accepting new applications.  We will not award the LAC Scholarship to any new students beyond pre-existing commitments which were made prior to January 2025.
