Students are strongly encouraged to contact Dr. Moody for guidance prior to applying to the program. When you are ready to apply, follow these four steps:
- Confirm that you meet the eligibility requirements for the program.
- Identify a person who can provide a recommendation for you. This person must be a faculty member or advisor at Santa Fe College or the University of Florida.
- Note that your recommender will NOT be asked to write a letter of recommendation or complete any form. We will contact the recommender of each applicant finalist.
- Complete the online application. The application will ask you to input the contact information for your recommender.
NOTE: You will be notified by a representative of the SF2UF program regarding the outcome of your application. Top applicants will be interviewed, and program decisions will be announced after final interviews. Successful applicants must complete and sign a Scholarship Agreement and Program Agreement. Presentation of proof of citizenship (a US passport or US birth certificate) or permanent residency (copy of “green card”) is required prior to official acceptance into the program. Official appointments are completed on the NIH website, with the assistance of SF2UF program staff.
