The Florida Effective Access to Student Education (EASE) grant makes pursuing the B.S. degree in Public Administration at Flagler College exceptionally affordable. This grant is generally available to Florida residents pursuing their first undergraduate degree full-time. PAD students complete 12 hours per semester, meeting the requirement for full-time enrollment.
For the 2022-2023 academic year, the EASE grant grants students $1,000 per semester ($2,000 per year).

STEP 2: Request Transcripts of Each College/University Attended
Contact the Registrar of each college or university you have attended and request your official transcript. All transcripts must be received before Flagler College can make an admission decision. The Registrar at each college or university you have attended may submit your transcripts in one of three ways:
- Mail: Office of Admissions, Flagler College, 74 King Street, St. Augustine, FL 32084.
- Email: admissions@flagler.edu
Be sure to specify that your transcripts are sent to Flagler College – St. Augustine, not Flagler College – Tallahassee.
