Mission Statement
The Florida Prepaid College Board is committed to helping Floridians save for future qualified higher education expenses by providing a cost-effective, financially sound Prepaid College Plan and other college savings programs.

Operating Budget
The Prepaid Plan provides families with a safe, affordable way to save for college for their children. Financially guaranteed by the State of Florida, the Prepaid Plan allows families to lock in the cost of college tuition, tuition differential fee, local fees and dormitory housing at a Florida college at current plan prices and the program pays the actual costs when the child enrolls in college.

Section 529
The term "529 plan" describes a type of tax-advantaged college plan authorized by Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code. The money you contribute to these plans grows tax-deferred, and when the student (beneficiary) is ready for college, withdrawals for qualified college expenses are exempt from federal income tax.

Tuition is just one part of the cost for a college education. There are many other fees and expenses associated with it. And over time, they can really add up. To manage those costs, the Florida Prepaid College Plan offers the University Dormitory Plan, Local Fee Plan and Tuition Differential Fee Plan, all designed to help you save. Please note the tuition differential fee is not required for plan holders that purchased their Prepaid Plan prior to 2007.
Quick Chart

Local Fee Plan
The Florida Prepaid College Local Fee Plan covers the required student activity and service, health and athletic fees charged by Florida's public universities, and the student activity and technology fees charged by state colleges. All students are required to pay these fees, even if they do not participate in campus activities, use on-campus health services or attend school athletic events. There are other fees, such as transportation and lab fees that are not covered by the local fee plan.

University Dormitory Plan
Living in a college dormitory can be a major expense. But it can also be a major advantage for students as they’re close to their peers, study groups, classes and other sources of learning enhancement.

Tuition Differential Fee Plan
The tuition differential fee allows Florida state universities to raise revenue to improve the quality of undergraduate instruction and to increase the availability of financial aid. Each university will determine how the fee is used.

The Florida Prepaid College Plan offers four affordable plan choices that prepay college tuition and associated fees. To further cover college costs, you may also consider adding the University Dormitory Plan for campus housing expenses and the Florida College Investment Plan, which is a tax-free way to help pay for miscellaneous costs such as textbooks, food, and more.

4-Year Florida University Plan
There are 11 state universities located throughout Florida. The 4-Year Florida University Plan prepays tuition, registration fees, the tuition differential fee and local fees for 120 undergraduate semester credit hours at a state university in Florida.

2 + 2 Florida Plan
To help manage costs, many students start their education with two years at a Florida College (formerly known as a community college), before finishing at a state university in Florida. The 2 + 2 Florida Plan prepays tuition, registration fees and local fees for 60 lower division semester hours at a Florida College and tuition, registration fees, the tuition differential fee and local fees for 60 semester credit hours at a state university.

4-Year Florida College Plan
Florida's 28 community colleges are expanding to reflect a broader mission and are now known as Florida Colleges. Institutions in the Florida College system offer workforce related bachelor degrees in areas such as teaching and nursing. To support this trend, the Florida Prepaid College Board is now offering, the 4-year Florida College Plan.

2-Year Florida College Plan
The 2-Year Florida College Plan prepays tuition, registration fees and local fees for 60 lower division semester credit hours at any of the 28 Florida Colleges (formerly known as community colleges), so students can earn an associate’s degree or learn a trade in a short amount of time. This plan allows beneficiaries to quickly plug themselves into a profession and launch their careers.

University Dormitory Plan
Living in a college dormitory can be a major expense. But it can also be a major advantage for students as they’re close to their peers, study groups, classes and other sources of learning enhancement.

The Dormitory Plan addresses these costs by covering the payment for a standard, double-occupancy, air-conditioned dormitory room at a Florida state university. The Dormitory Plan may be purchased in one-year increments for up to two years (with a 2 + 2 Florida Plan) and up to four years (with a 4-Year Florida University Plan) and is offered only for a child in the eleventh grade or below. You may purchase a Dormitory Plan along with a corresponding Prepaid Plan as noted above or supplement an existing Prepaid Plan at a later date.

Florida College Investment Plan
By saving with the Florida College Investment Plan*, you can help ensure your child gets a chance to go to college. With its tax benefits, range of investment options and flexibility, the Florida College Investment Plan is a smart way to save for college.

Dormitory plans can also be purchased to help reduce expenses for students living on campus. And the Florida College Investment Plan is a smart, tax-free way to help pay for other miscellaneous expenses such as textbooks, food and more.

Mr. Stanley G. Tate was instrumental in the early development of the Florida Prepaid College Board and served tirelessly as Chairman of the Board during the program’s first 18 years, from 1987 to 2005.
