INTEREST-FREE STUDENT LOAN OPPORTUNITIES OFFERED

BY MILLING FOUNDATION

MARION COUNTY – The Milling Foundation provides low-interest and interest-free loans to graduates of Marion County schools attending the University of Florida. 

Loans are available for four years to students pursuing bachelor degrees.  Students may borrow up to $30,000 over four years, with the amount based on available resources and financial need.

This year’s application deadline is April 4, and award notifications will be released after the April foundation board meeting.

The Milling Foundation is a trust fund specifically designated for graduates of Marion County schools attending UF. Marion County Superintendent of Schools’ designee and Marion County public high school principals serve as members of the Foundation’s Board of Directors that determines loan amounts on a case-by-case basis. 

Students can use their loans for tuition and other educational and college living expenses.  As long as students are enrolled at UF, no interest is charged on the loan.  For students moving back to Marion County after college graduation, loans are interest-free.

Applications are available in Guidance offices of each high school.  For more information, contact the Milling Foundation at 352.840.3269.
