Department awards open to incoming freshmen (1)
Run by a college or department, and published as open to students entering as freshmen.
Which of these a student actually clears depends on GPA, test score, home state, and major. A free Graidy account works that out award by award, and shows what is left to pay after it.
Cost of attendance as published: tuition, fees, housing, and food for one year. It is the sticker, before any of the awards above and before need-based aid.
FS4U (AcademicWorks) — Florida State University's centralized scholarship portal.
