When I applied early to Florida Southern, I was nervous about making such a big decision. But taking that leap of faith opened doors I never imagined. I received a generous scholarship thanks to early admission, making my college dreams a reality. Trust me, the benefits of applying early far outweigh any fears. Don’t hesitate — apply today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to apply as an Early Decision applicant in order to take advantage of the Early Application?

No. When applying online, you may choose to apply as an early decision, early action or regular decision applicant.

Is the Early Application binding if I am admitted?

No, not unless you choose the early decision option when applying; if you’re still exploring your college options, we invite you to apply as either an early action (non-binding) or regular decision applicant - you will still receive your admission decision early.

What are the advantages to applying using the Early Application?

Our Early Application allows you to get a jump start on your college applications before you begin your senior year. And because you’ll be among the first applicants to FSC for Fall 2024, you’ll receive priority consideration for scholarship opportunities—and be considered for our special admitted student program, Southern Select.
