This premier group honors your vision and commitment to advancing UCF’s mission.

The winged horse of Greek mythology and UCF’s iconic symbol and logo, Pegasus earned its place as a constellation and symbolizes the university’s vision of limitless possibilities. At this level we celebrate donors who have reached cumulative giving of $1 million or more.
