Access to Opportunities (A2O) is the University of Central Florida’s scholarship platform. A2O offers hundreds of scholarships offered from colleges and departments across our campus.<\/p>\n

There are also opportunities for students to search scholarships from outside UCF by navigating to the \u2018External\u2019 category under the Opportunities drop-down.<\/p>\n

To get started students can log in to A2O using their UCF NID email address and password. To access the platform, students must be admitted to the university with a paid seat deposit or be a returning UCF student<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t

How to Apply<\/h2>\n

Upon logging into A2O, students must complete the General Application, which includes fewer than 15 questions (e.g., expected enrollment and graduation dates). This information is used to match students with relevant scholarship opportunities. Completing the General Application also unlocks access to additional applications, such as Conditional and Apply-To Applications, which may require supplemental materials like a resume, essay, or recommendation. The General Application must be submitted annually.<\/p>\n

Based on the General Application and academic records, students may be prompted to complete a Conditional Application. This form gathers targeted information to determine eligibility for scholarships tied to specific colleges or areas of interest, streamlining the process by consolidating multiple opportunities into one application.<\/p>\n

Students may also be recommended for Apply-To Applications, which require separate submissions and additional documentation for each scholarship. These are offered across various UCF colleges and departments.<\/p>\n

All application statuses, including the completed General Application, can be viewed under the \u201cMy Applications\u201d section in A2O.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t
