Big news for Florida families: Prepaid Plan Enrollment is now year-round. That means no more racing against the clock, no more missed opportunities, and no more waiting months for the window to open again. You’re in control of when you start – no deadline means no worries.
What Year-Round Prepaid Plan Enrollment Means
Prepaid Plans are a specialized type of 529 plan that gives you a guaranteed, risk-free way to cover tuition and optional dormitory housing.
Until now, Prepaid Plans were only available during a limited Open Enrollment period (February 1 through April 30). If you missed that window, you had to wait a year to lock in your Prepaid Plan price.
But life doesn’t always follow a calendar, so now families can enroll anytime, when it’s best for you – January through December. Whenever you’re ready to take that first step, Florida Prepaid is too.
Why This Matters for Florida Families
This change removes the #1 reason many families put off saving: “I missed the window.”
With year-round Prepaid Plan enrollment, you can start on your own timeline, when it makes sense for your life and budget. That could be after welcoming a new baby, during tax refund season, after a budget reset, when a grandparent is asking to help, or when your financial situation allows you.
This change is a powerful step toward making college savings easier for every Florida family.
What Hasn’t Changed
While enrollment timing is now more flexible, the benefits of a Prepaid Plan remain the same. You can:
- Protect against rising costs by locking in today’s tuition costs with fixed monthly payments that will never go up.
- Use it nationwide at colleges, universities, and trade schools.
- Enjoy peace of mind for their future because it’s guaranteed by the State of Florida.
- Save risk-free with the #1 Prepaid Program in the nation.
It’s the same trusted program and flexible plan – just more accessible.
