How Can I Get a Scholarship From FGCU?

The FGCU Foundation Scholarship Application

Paying for college can seem like a daunting task, but there are tools to help make the experience more affordable. Through the generosity of many individuals, alumni, local philanthropists, nonprofit organizations and corporations, the Florida Gulf Coast University Foundation has established academic merit and financial need-based scholarships for FGCU students. The Foundation provided over $6 million dollars in scholarships this past year.
