The Difference Between Colleges and Universities

 

Florida Colleges

There are 28 Florida Colleges statewide. Most offer two-year associate’s and four-year bachelor’s degree programs in growth industries. They offer an affordable and accessible path to a chosen career, diverse course offerings, convenient locations and tremendous flexibility at a lower cost than universities.

State Universities

There are 12 State Universities in Florida. They offer a broad range of undergraduate and graduate degrees in a dynamic atmosphere, providing the traditional “college experience” that many picture in their minds. U.S. News and World Report has named Florida the “Best State for Higher Education.”

If you have questions, we have the answers!

Can the plans be used at schools other than Florida public institutions?

While Prepaid Plans are designed to be used at a Florida College or State University, the plans can also be applied at other schools nationwide. Public, private, in-state or out-of-state, we would pay what we’d pay a Florida school.

X
If my child gets a scholarship or doesn’t attend college, will I lose my investment?

Absolutely not. First of all, every Florida Prepaid College Plan is fully guaranteed by the State of Florida, so you can never lose what you’ve paid in. Secondly, you can transfer your plan to another eligible family member or cancel your plan for a full refund of what you’ve paid in. If your child receives a scholarship, you can get a refund for the same amount as the plan would pay a public college or university in Florida.

X
If I move out of Florida, will I lose my plan?

Florida residency is required to get a Prepaid Plan, but it isn’t required to keep one. If you or your child move out of state at some point, no problem — your plan will continue as if you never left the Sunshine State. If your child attends a Florida College or State University, they will be considered an in-state student.

X
How long do I have to use my Prepaid Plan?

Don’t worry. You won’t feel like the clock is ticking when it comes time for your child to use their plan. They have up to 10 years from the projected enrollment year selected on the application to use their Prepaid Plan.

X
How can a Prepaid Plan and a Savings Plan work together?

Prepaid Plans and Savings Plans work well together. For example, you could use a Prepaid Plan to cover up to four years of tuition and fees and a Savings Plan to pay for books, a computer, room, and board. If you don’t want to use a Prepaid Plan to save for all four years of tuition and fees, you could purchase a 2-Year Florida College Plan or one or more 1-Year University Plans and also open a Savings Plan.

X
When can I open a Florida Prepaid Plan?

You may enroll any time. We have an annual Open Enrollment period from October 15 through February 28. If you enroll outside of the Open Enrollment period, you will receive the pricing information for your plan when the next Open Enrollment period begins. Our prices may change from year to year. If you sign up before Open Enrollment and you are not satisfied with your plan price when Open Enrollment begins, let us know. We’ll help you select another plan or payment option to meet your goals and your budget.
