Florida Residents

The Financial Aid Office will package new students with Florida aid if there is reasonable belief that the student will meet the state's residency requirements. Students who believe they meet the State's residency requirements and are not packaged with Florida aid should speak to their Financial Aid Counselor .

The State of Florida considers a student a resident if they (or a parent, for dependent students) have lived in the state for 12 consecutive months before the first day of classes. Students must complete the Florida Residency Review in Workday before the end of the add/drop period for the term in which they seek aid, which includes completing the Florida Residency Affidavit and providing required supporting documentation.

To receive aid from any Florida aid program, students must first meet the state's residency requirements as described above. Also see section on Renewal of Awards for more information.

A description and eligibility requirements for several of the Florida aid programs are listed below. The Office of Student Financial Assistance provides a comprehensive listing of all state aid programs on their Florida Student Scholarship & Grant Programs website.
