Am I eligible to apply?

In order to be eligible to apply for one of these programs, you must already be admitted and planning to attend (or already be registered at) a Florida public institution of higher education.  You must also be a citizen of one of the countries for which Florida Linkage Institutes are established. Students are required to return home after their graduate or undergraduate study for a length of time equal to their exemption period.

Whom should I contact?

To apply for an out-of-state fee exemption, contact the Linkage Institute director for the country in which you reside. You will still be required to prove your ability to cover all of your education and living expenses, but your tuition will be temporarily reduced should you earn a Linkage Institution scholarship.

Eligible citizens from the following may apply:

·         Brazil

·         Canada

·         The Caribbean

·         China

·         Costa Rica

·         Eastern Europe

·         France

·         Israel
