Participating institutions determine application procedures, deadlines, student eligibility and award amount. This program is available at Florida state universities and Florida College System institutions, including public community colleges. Applicants must be accepted at a state university or institution and enroll in a minimum of 6 credit hours per term as a degree-seeking undergraduate student. They must not owe a repayment or be in default under any state or federal grant, loan or scholarship program unless satisfactory arrangements to repay have been made.
