Scholars Day is an invitation-only program designed for UCF’s highest-achieving admitted students. And as a National Merit Finalist, that includes you! This special day brings together UCF administration, faculty, staff and students for a glimpse of what it’s like to be a freshman at one of the most innovative universities in the nation.
Even if you’ve visited our campus before, this in-depth program provides information that will assist you and your family during your transition from high school to college.
Yes, we offer campus tours. But this event is about more than finding your way around campus.
It’s about connecting with faculty and hearing from experts on student success.
It’s about engaging with campus leaders.
And it’s about finding answers — from determining which major to choose, to understanding your National Merit Finalist award package. We’re here to help you figure things out.
So, join us for a day that’s filled with fun and engagement on Saturday, March 2! As a National Merit Finalist, we’re hosting a special Networking Luncheon in your honor. (Details about that will be shared with you after registration.)
Check-in begins at 8 a.m. in the Student Union.
We look forward to seeing you there!
