Use of University Marks

Use of FSU trademarks and logos (including all aspects of the uniform) for NIL activities can only occur after obtaining a written agreement from either Seminole Sports Properties, CLC, or the FSU Office of Trademark Licensing (authority dependent upon intended use).  Use of campus facilities or grounds for NIL activities requires written authorization from FSU. Commercial film or photography requires additional approval from the Office of University Communications. Authorized use may necessitate additional requirements, including certification of insurance, payment of applicable rental fees, etc.

Request to Film on Campus

Use of campus facilities or grounds for NIL activities requires written authorization from FSU. Commercial film or photography requires additional approval from the Office of University Communications, and the execution of a location agreement and other requirements.  Entities should initiate the request several weeks in advance and should do so by submitting the NIL Branding Request form on this page.

Eligibility for Pell Grant and all other forms of need-based financial aid could be impacted by receipt of NIL compensation. Questions should be directed to the FSU Office of Financial Aid.

Please be aware that your NIL activities may have personal tax implications. These obligations are dependent upon individual circumstances and may require consultation with a tax professional.
