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.

All of Florida's state universities charge the tuition differential fee and provides that the sum of tuition and tuition differential fee may increase up to 15% annually until the sum of tuition and all fees assessed by state universities reach the national average of tuition and fees at public universities.

Newly enrolled undergraduates at all of Florida's state universities must pay the fee, including students with Bright Future scholarships. Newly enrolled students include freshmen and transfers.

Beneficiaries whose University Tuition or University plus Community College Tuition Plans were purchased as of January 31, 2007, are exempt from the tuition differential fee.

Please note:

• Tuition differential fee plans may only be purchased in conjunction with the corresponding tuition plan.
• Tuition differential fee plans are only available for students enrolled in or below the eighth grade.
