Students like Daniela Garcia, class of 2021 and a recipient of a first-generation scholarship, know firsthand what a lifeline these scholarships are. Earning her college degree means everything to her and her family. Because once she graduates, there will never be another generation in her family that is the first to go to college.

Generous gifts from private donors like you to help fund first-generation scholarships at UCF make that possible for Daniela and other UCF students.

Now you can triple your impact while helping to make this opportunity available to future Knights.

Because of a recent change in state law, Florida now MATCHES each dollar given by donors 2-to-1 — meaning if you make a gift of $50 to fund first-generation scholarships, the state will “double-match” your gift with $100, making a total of $150 available for first-generation scholarships!

But there’s an important deadline! In order to be matched this year — for triple the impact! — your gift must be received by November 30.

Please consider making a gift before the deadline to help more students like Daniela pursue their dreams of earning a UCF degree.
