What is UF PROMISE? It’s our PROMISE to you.
UF PROMISE supports undergraduates selected by the Office of Admissions, offering services and programs to enrich their experience and help them reach their full potential.
How does it work?
PROMISE Scholars start in the Summer B term, participating in UF Summer Bridge and UF Connect and living in the PROMISE Living Learning Community (PLLC). This programming helps them build community, develop academic skills, and get a head start on their undergraduate journey.
What are additional benefits of being a PROMISE scholar?
PROMISE Scholars have access to exclusive resources, including selective advising with their PROMISE Academic Advisors and OAS, smaller Summer B class sizes, priority registration, and exclusive access to First-Year-Florida sections tailored for PROMISE students. Additionally, they can access other OAS resources and technology, including scholarship opportunities (merit- and need-based), academic and professional workshops, coaching, and more.
