HEO program applications due Nov. 1

The University of Florida’s Higher Education Opportunity (HEO) scholarship provides children of full-time TEAMS employees with tuition assistance for an undergraduate education. This program covers up to 132 hours towards an undergraduate degree at the University of Florida, or a Florida public college in the event the child is not accepted to UF. The HEO does not cover private institutions, out of state institutions or other Florida universities. Please visit the Financial Obligations page for details about program coverage.    

Each eligible employee may submit one child’s name into the drawing. To be considered for this benefit, the TEAMS employee must apply for the HEO scholarship by Nov. 1, 2024. Visit the Higher Education Opportunity for additional drawing requirements for participation.
