LONE STAR GATOR CLUB® SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

Being a Gator alumni means having a chance to give back to our amazing community and helping others to have the opportunity to receive a scholarship to our #1 rated university!  It's a chance for these scholars to start their academic careers in the right direction.

With the help of our generous donors throughout the years, we have been able to award 68 scholarships to incredible Central Texas students headed to UF since our scholarship program began in 1997, and we hope we can count on you to pledge to support our students this season!

Meet our three recipients of the Lone Star Gator Club Scholarship for 2025-2026 academic year: 

2025-2026 SCHOLARS

A NOTE FROM ALI:

"Hi! My name is Ali Reichenberg, and I'm attending UF this year as an Aerospace Engineering major. I recently graduated from Austin High School, where I found my passion for all things outer space as President of the Austin High Astronomy Club. I'm beyond grateful to receive this scholarship and honored to join the Lone Star Gator Club in watching UF beat UT in all major sporting events. Go Gators!!" 

A NOTE FROM ELIANA:

Eliana Koransky is an Austin native and a graduate of the Liberal Arts and Science Academy in Austin, Texas, who recently moved to the University of Florida to study Biomedical Engineering. At UF, she plans to spend her time studying outside in the sun, reading a book in the library, and, of course, cheering on her football team in the Swamp. She is incredibly grateful to receive the Lone Star Gator Club Scholarship because it supports her in pursuing not only her academic interests, but her passions outside the classroom. Go Gators!

A NOTE FROM NAGA:

Naga Nimma is originally from Austin, Texas, and is attending the University of Florida as a Psychology major on the pre-health track, with the hope of becoming an obstetrician one day. From tutoring students and volunteering at a school for children with disabilities in India to interning at a medical company focused on wound care, Naga has always been passionate about helping others. She is excited to continue exploring her interests while contributing to her new community at UF.
