What are the Initial Eligibility Requirements to Receive Funding?
The student will:
• Meet Florida’s residency requirements for receipt of state student financial aid by
maintaining Florida residency for purposes other than education for a minimum of
12 consecutive months prior to the first day of class of the academic term for which

postsecondary institution. An applicant who has questions regarding residency
status should contact the financial aid office of the institution he/she plans to
attend.
