If you have earned Florida state aid, good news: you can use it at Florida Southern. Many families do not realize that state programs like Bright Futures and the EASE grant apply at a private, non-profit college, and they stack on top of the scholarships and grants you receive from FSC. The Florida aid you have accumulated is yours to use at any accredited institution you choose, including Florida Southern.
Most Florida grants require that you be a Florida resident and enrolled full-time (at least 12 credit hours) each semester. You will need to confirm your residency and submit any required documentation to the Financial Aid Office.
