Financial Aid

COMPLETE THE FAFSA (FREE APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL STUDENT AID)

To be considered for need-based financial aid, including grants and loans, you must complete and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The 2024-2025 school year FAFSA is expected to open no later than December 31, 2023.

Florida Poly’s Federal School Code is 042634. Contact the Office of Financial Aid at financialaid@floridapoly.edu or 863-874-4774 with any questions.

Submit Your FAFSA Night at Florida Poly - February 26, 2024

6:30pm – 8:00pm at Florida Poly, Barnett Applied Research Center, Room 2200

This program is designed for BOTH students and parents to attend, and our Financial Aid Office staff will lead participants through submitting the FAFSA step-by-step. 

REGISTER NOW!

COMPLETE YOUR FLORIDA FINANCIAL AID APPLICATION (Florida Residents Only)

If you are a senior graduating from a Florida High School, complete your FFAA to apply for FL Bright Futures and other state scholarships.

Due to the later-than-normal opening of the FAFSA at the end of December, along with the planned delay for the federal government to return the submitted FAFSA data back to colleges, we anticipate being able to release financial aid estimates in late March-early April.

However, we want to provide you with the option to receive an early estimate aid award from Florida Poly now!  If your student has already completed the FAFSA, you should be able to see the Student Aid Index (SAI) in the confirmation email after submitting the form. If you would like to receive an early estimated award from our Office of Financial Aid now, please send a copy of the FAFSA confirmation that includes the SAI to financialaid@floridapoly.edu.  Please title the email header as “Estimated Aid Request”.  For your student/family security, please do not send any social security number or date of birth electronically over email. A screen shot of the confirmation page or a PDF of the confirmation showing the SAI would also suffice for the estimate.  If you haven’t submitted the FAFSA yet, you can do so at studentaid.gov/fafsa and be sure to include Florida Poly’s code 042634.  Then send us the SAI confirmation for an early estimated award.

If your family doesn’t plan to apply for need-based financial aid, but would still like an estimated overall aid award, please email financialaid@floridapoly.edu and include your student’s name and home address including the city, state, and zip code, so we can find the student record.
