For Parents


As a parent, you know it's important to help your child choose the right college for his or her education. We hope the following helps make Flagler College your choice:

  • College is an excellent investment. Over a lifetime, and in most cases, college graduates earn more than high school graduates. However, costs vary widely for each institution and just as important is the value you'll receive. That value is the balance of the cost paid and the benefits received, benefits such as class size, student-faculty relationships, financial aid, location, and the opportunities for graduate studies, whether you can graduate in four years and the success graduates enjoy.

  • Flagler is one of the least expensive private colleges in the nation and is recognized in Princeton Review, MoneyGuide U.S. News & World Report and America's Best 100 Buys as a top value in education at an affordable cost. Florida students may also qualify for state grants, such as the Florida Resident Access Grant, that offset the cost of an education. For more information, go to the Costs section of this web site.
  • The annual cost for tuition, room and board at Flagler is about the same as state universities. And 81 percent of Flagler students receive help with costs through financial aid. Students can also graduate from Flagler in four years (the average in public institutions in Florida is 4.8 to 5.1 years).
  • For information about administrative policies, residential life and student activities, see the Student Handbook in the Student Life section of this site. There you will also find the schedule for the fall Family Weekend.
