HALL OF FAME

The University of Florida Hall of Fame is the highest recognition given to student leaders at the University of Florida. The UF Hall of Fame is reserved for those students who have shown truly superior leadership and achievement through their activities and scholarship while members of the University of Florida community. Through their involvement as student leaders, it is clear to all who encounter these students that they are set apart from other outstanding student leaders as especially deserving of this unique honor. The UF Hall of Fame is limited in size to no more than 25 students in a given year.

The University of Florida Hall of Fame accepts applications once a year. The application will be posted no earlier than December and will be found on this website.
