College Cost Calculator
Tuition is 17 percent of the cost of attending a public college in Florida today. But tuition is rising faster than inflation nationally and Florida tuition increased
nearly 6 percent a year on average over the past 25 years. Florida's new tuition differential fee, expected to be imposed in fall 2008, will hike tuition as much as 30
to 40 percent at University of Florida, Florida State University and University of South Florida. Meanwhile state universities and community colleges are requesting more
resources. And it will cost a college student even more to cover essentials such as a dormitory room, textbooks, fees, transportation and pizza.
The Florida Prepaid College Plan and the Florida College Investment Plan, alone or in combination with each other, can help your family save wisely today for your child's
education tomorrow.
