This grant program provides tuition assistance to Florida undergraduate students attending an eligible private, non-profit institution (such as FHCHS). The student (or the parents if the student is a dependent) must be a Florida resident for a minimum of twelve consecutive months prior to the first day of class of the academic term for which funds are requested. Students must be U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens and must be enrolled for at least 12 credits (9 credits for AS Nursing students) by the end of the drop/add period and maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). The student can not have a prior Bachelor's degree, be in default or owe a repayment on federal or state grants or loans. The grant is available for nine trimesters of undergraduate work. Funding is not available during the summer trimester. To receive the FRAG for the following school year, the student must maintain a minimum 2.00 cumulative GPA and must have successfully completed 12 credits for each term they received the FRAG. Credits from the summer, fall and spring trimesters are used to determine credits successfully completed.

Applications are available online at www.FHCHS.edu or at the FHCHS Financial Aid Office and must be submitted by the end of the drop/add period (the last day to drop with no record) of the trimester for which the grant is requested. The grant is awarded in the fall and spring trimesters only. The amount of the award is specified each year by the Florida Legislature.
