UWC Recommendation Form

Thank you for agreeing to submit a University Women’s Club Scholarships’ recommendation letter for a talented and deserving student leader.

Established in 1922, the University Women’s Club (UWC) is an organization comprised of University of Florida faculty, staff and other women who actively support the mission and goals of the Club (www.universitywomensclub.ufl.edu). From it’s Endowment Fund the Club has for many years awarded scholarships to deserving women and men in honor of the wives of past presidents of the University of Florida, as well as the wives of a few former distinguished campus leaders. These women served the University during their husband’s careers at the University of Florida and their service has been recognized by the University Women’s Club through scholarships awarded in the spring.

In celebration of its 100 years of existence and service to the University the University Women’s Club, beginning in the spring of 2022, will award five (5) scholarships in the amount of $5000 each to exceptional women or men who apply. Applicants can be from any undergraduate area of study. Selections are made by the Admissions Committee of the Division of Student Life.

Completed applications are due by the extended deadline of March 15, 2024 by 4:30 p.m.. We kindly ask that if you are able to submit your reference form prior to this deadline so the student will be considered for the UWC Scholarships. Additionally, please limit your letter of recommendation to one page.
