The USF Green & Gold Directors Waiver Award is open to a limited number of admitted first-year students who are not Florida residents. This award is disbursed as a waiver that decreases the total cost of attendance but only applies toward out-of-state tuition. If the student is enrolled in fewer course credits, the waiver may pay less than the amount awarded. If a student's residency is updated to in-state for tuition purposes after enrollment, the merit-based tuition waiver will no longer apply, the award will be canceled and it will not replaced by a Florida resident award. This award cannot be combined with other tuition waiver scholarships.
