Fields with an asterisk (*) are required.

Please be advised that you must have already submitted your application to the University of North Florida in order to submit this request. If you are interested in applying or still need to complete and submit your application, visit our Admissions website. Your request will not be reviewed until you are admitted to the University.

Eligibility requirements for the Grandparent Waiver

The student must have a grandparent who has a legal relationship with a student's parent as the natural or adopted parent or legal guardian of the student's parent.
- The grandparent must be a legal resident of Florida as defined in Florida Statute Section 1009.21.
Earn a high school diploma comparable to a Florida standard high school diploma, or its equivalent, or complete a home education program
Submit a freshman application as a full-time undergraduate student for the summer or fall term immediately following high school graduation.
Have an SAT combined (or ACT/CLT equivalent) no lower than the 89th national percentile.
- Though the term "national" appears in the statute, the intended percentile corresponds to the "SAT User" percentile published by the College Board. The score also coincides with the threshold required for each high school graduating class to qualify for the Florida Academic Scholars Bright Futures Award. For reference, the Florida Department of Education Office of Student Financial Assistance publishes the threshold annually in the Bright Futures Student Handbook.
