Program Description:

Title: Florida State University Undergraduates Scholarship for Internationals Students 2025

Application deadine: 5th May 2025

Florida State University allocates funds each year to be used for out-of-state tuition waivers for international undergraduate students in F-1 status at FSU’s main campus who are excelling academically. Students are awarded between 1 to 12 credit hours of tuition waivers based on their FSU GPA. The number of waivers awarded to an individual student each semester depends on the number of applicants and the FSU GPAs of the applicants.

Students receiving the tuition waivers are responsible for paying the in-state portion of their tuition as well as for the fees for the out-of-state credit hours waived. In addition, each student must pay tuition and fees for any additional credit hours not covered by the out-of-state waivers.

Florida State University Undergraduates Scholarship for Internationals Students 2025 Eligibility

• Must be an international undergraduate degree-seeking student in F-1 visa status at FSU’s main campus who has completed at least one full-time semester at FSU, with at least 12 graded credits. New students beginning in the summer must enroll in either 12 graded credits (beginning Summer A/C) or 9 graded credits (beginning Summer B) to be eligible to apply for fall waivers.
• Must have an FSU cumulative GPA of at least 3.5 OR at least a 3.5 GPA for the most recent full-time semester of 12 graded hours or more (9 hours for NEW Summer B students).
• You must apply by the application deadline each semester. Tuition waivers are awarded only for one semester at a time.
• Students awarded an out-of-state tuition reduction scholarship by the FSU admissions office, students receiving the 2+2 Panama scholarship, and students otherwise considered in-state for tuition purposes are NOT ELIGIBLE for out-of-state waivers through this program. However, students with partial tuition scholarships may be eligible for a partial award to bring their total award up to 12 credits, depending on their GPA. Students with the 2+2 scholarship may be eligible during a summer term in which they don’t qualify for the 2+2 award or if they are otherwise eligible and have used the maximum semesters of the 2+2 scholarship.
• FSU Panama students from countries that are not eligible to receive the 2+2 Latin America/Caribbean Scholarship may apply for the CGE’s undergraduate out-of-state tuition waivers. However, a student’s cumulative FSU GPA must be at least 3.5 and be based on at least 12 graded credits each semester. If the application is based on the GPA of the most recent semester, there must be at least 12 graded credits.

Important Note:

Tuition waivers are granted based on academic merit. This is a highly competitive award with many applicants. Awards are variable each semester and range from a minimum of 1 credit for a GPA of 3.5 to a maximum of 10-12 for a GPA of 4.0, based solely on GPA not the number of credits enrolled in.

Awardees are notified after the drop/add period ends, and you’ll be able to see the amount of your award on your student account at that time.
