Scholarships
We want to be sure you qualify for the Financial Aid and Scholarship package that you're entitled to. At EFSC, as at any college, that process starts with filling out the online Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) — that ensures you're considered for all aid programs that are administered by the College, including grants, work study and loans. A FAFSA also is the first step in qualifying for scholarships. Students must meet all published deadlines to ensure a determination of financial aid eligibility prior to EFSC's Fee Due Dates. You can also view the Financial Aid FAQs.
The Eastern Florida financial aid office is your source for help applying for scholarships, plus traditional aid, such as grants, work study and loans. Use the links in this web section to find detailed information about the aid
Scholarships are a form of student aid that’s considered a gift that a student does not have to repay. They’re often based on scholastic achievement or special talent and some scholarships consider a student’s financial need. Remember that any outside aid, including scholarships, is considered in your aid package and must be reported to the Office of Financial Aid.
The Office of Financial Aid encourages students to explore the scholarship opportunities available from EFSC, many of them funded by generous EFSC Foundation donors, and scholarships from outside organizations.

Students need a voice in their college. That's why the leaders of Eastern Florida State College organized the Student Government Association (SGA) and made sure there's a branch on each EFSC campus. You'll find that SGA, and each campus' Student Activities Office, are involved in everything from organizing fun events to relieve the stress of final exam week to screening and approving new student clubs.
Explore all the clubs and events on your campus. It's easy to get involved – just contact the student activities director at your campus or the sponsor for the club you're interested in. This is also your one-stop location for a calendar and information about student events.
