Florida Department of Education

Applicants must be a Florida resident and a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen. A student’s residency and citizenship status are determined by the postsecondary institution. Questions
regarding such status should be directed to the financial aid office or admissions office of the institution the student plans to attend. Applicants must not owe a repayment or be in default under any state or federal grant, loan, or scholarship program unless satisfactory arrangements to repay have been made and not have previously received a baccalaureate degree (unless enrolled in an eligible educator preparation institute). Applicants must enroll for a minimum of six credit hours per term or 180 clock hours at an eligible college or university currently participating in FWEP in an associate or baccalaureate
degree program, or enroll no less than half-time in a career certificate program consisting of no less than 450 clock hours of instruction at an eligible career center, or enroll as no less than a half-time student in good standing at an eligible educator
preparation institute. Applicants must maintain the equivalent of a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale.
