HEO opens doors for UF families
Few things in life can have such a drastic impact on a child’s future like access to a post-secondary education. Many families go into debt to provide their child with the opportunity to receive a college degree. The University of Florida fully understands this and, to mitigate the economic impact that a child’s college education poses to a family, has created the Higher Education Opportunity (HEO) program.
Created in 2003, the HEO provides tuition assistance in the form of a scholarship. It covers the in-state matriculation fees for a maximum of 132 credit hours toward an undergraduate degree. To date, 2,050 UF employees have been awarded the HEO scholarship for their child.
Read on to learn how the HEO has benefited various UF employees, and visit the UFHR website to learn more and submit your HEO application, due Nov. 2.
