The International Student Scholarship Fund is a key part of our mission at UCF Global, supporting our international community.

International students and their families view UCF as a place where they can achieve their dreams. Many have dedicated years to this goal, investing their time, money and hopes into becoming part of our vibrant community.

However, life can be unpredictable. Events like natural disasters and personal hardships can suddenly create challenges for these students and their families. In difficult times, they demonstrate remarkable dedication and resilience, showcasing the strength of the human spirit.

By donating to the International Student Scholarship Fund, you can temporarily help cover their financial gaps and ensure that these talented students can continue their education and personal growth without interruption.

Donate today and help unleash the potential of our global community.

UCF Global’s Community English Program (CEP) offers adult learners responsive English language programs that incorporate digital literacy components in tandem with language learning, upskilling opportunities and bridge options into UCF Continuing Education, UCF degree programs and overall career mobility. English and digital proficiency are major determinants of economic mobility for non-English speaking adults.

Central Florida’s fast-growing limited English-speaking population needs English proficiency and digital literacy programs that are readily available to find work, advance in the workplace, make a living wage and increase earning potential.

As Florida’s population continues to grow, the University of Central Florida (UCF Global) is providing pathways to economic mobility through foundational English language courses and programs that prepare adult learners for career advancement.
