Private donor scholarship checks may be dropped in the UF Bursar’s Drop Box in Criser Hall by the student (be sure to endorse if a joint check) or mailed to:
University of Florida
Office for Student Financial Aid and Scholarships
Attn: Disbursements
P. O. Box 114025
Gainesville, FL 32611-4025
For FedEx or overnight delivery address, omit the PO Box number and add our physical address of S-213 Criser Hall, 1478 Union Road.
Please enclose a letter that includes the following donor information and instructions:
- Donor name, address, tax ID number, contact phone number and an e-mail address (if available) in case a refund to donor is required in the event the student withdraws before receiving the funds or does not enroll.
- Term in which the funds are to be disbursed (Fall, Spring, Summer; split evenly between Fall/Spring). If your check is received without a term differentiation, our processing default will split the scholarship award evenly between the Fall & Spring semesters.
Follow these instructions:
- If the check is made out to the University of Florida: drop in the UF Bursar’s Drop Box in Criser Hall or mail to SFA at the address above.
- If the check is made co-payable to you and the University of Florida: endorse the check and drop in the UF Bursar’s Drop Box in Criser Hall or mail to SFA at the address above.
- If the check is made payable to you only but mailed directly to UF without endorsement: the Disbursement area in UF Student Financial Aid and Scholarships will contact you to make arrangements to endorse the check.
NOTES:
A scholarship check made payable to the University of Florida (UF) is placed on deposit with the University Bursar’s (UB) accounting office. Any fees owed to UF will be deducted and excess funds made available to the student via direct deposit or a check mailed to their local address, within 5 to 10 days after drop/add or receipt of the check.
