TUITION

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).
