The RFSA Endowed Scholarship

The RFSA Endowed Scholarship

This endowed fund supports scholarships for undergraduate, degree-seeking students at USF St. Petersburg who hold at least a junior or senior classification at the time of the award.  This scholarship is restricted to first-generation students, defined as neither parent having earned a bachelor's degree. Applicants must include an additional essay regarding the student’s first-generation status and must have, and maintain a grade point average of at least 3.2.  The scholarships will be rotated annually between the Colleges of Business, Education, and Arts & Sciences.

Become a Sustaining Member.  The RFSA Endowed Scholarship helped several deserving students this past year.  The scholarship is now endowed at the $25,000 level and may approach $30,000 by summer 2008.  Ultimately, when the fund reaches the $100,000 mark, it will generate 50% matching funds from the State.  We want to continue developing the fund towards this goal and you are encouraged to help out.  We are seeking donors who would be designated as “Sustaining Members” through a pledge of $100 annually for five years.  Please consider becoming a Sustaining Member of the scholarship fund.
