We support you. We thank you for your sacrifices.

Congratulations 2020 Alumni Council Book Award Scholarship Recipients!
First-year nursing students spend nearly $1,300 on textbooks. The Alumni Council Book Awards program, which gives monetary awards to help offset the rising cost of textbooks, allows alumni to take an active role in the future of current #GatoRNursing students by helping alleviate the financial strain of purchasing textbooks and ensuring that our talented students complete their undergraduate degree at UF. This year, 15 students were selected to receive Book Award scholarships.
