Schools

From one end of the peninsula to the other, Florida is bursting with amazing educational institutions where you can use the benefits of your Prepaid Plan(s) and Savings Plan. Both plans can also be used at accredited educational institutions nationwide. Note that while Prepaid Plans are designed for Florida public schools, the value we pay to other schools is the same as we would have paid to Florida schools.
