GAINESVILLE, FL / ACCESS Newswire / February 20, 2026 / The Gators Unidos Scholarship Fund is now accepting applications from University of Florida students. Created to strengthen the connection between previous generations of Latino Gator alumni and current students, the scholarship supports academic achievement, professional growth and long-term financial success.

Each year, two upper-division undergraduate or graduate students are chosen to receive the GU Scholarship Award. Recipients are awarded $2,500 in financial assistance.

In addition to financial support, GU Scholarship Award recipients receive access to:

Professional development mentorship resources
The GU sponsorship program for one year
A peer network of latino alumni to leverage upon their time at UF and beyond
The premium SUMA Wealth app to help students reach their financial goals
A $250 gift card to the UF Bookstore

"Gators Unidos was born from a desire to unite Latino Gators across generations - because for me, it represents pride, belonging and the corazón that fuels our legacy," said Dayana Falcon, the founder of Gators Unidos. "This community has become a familia for so many, and I am so proud of the impact we are having in the lives of so many Latino Gators."

The 2025 scholarship recipients, Maria Aliaga and Andrea Fonseca, credit the GU Scholarship Award with easing financial burdens, supporting their networking efforts and introducing them to a strong and uplifting Latino Gator community.
