Florida College Investment Plan
Frequently Asked Questions



Fees

Q. What does it cost to open an account?

A. There is a one-time, nonrefundable $50 application fee. The application fee is discounted for current customers who already have a Florida Prepaid College Plan for the same beneficiary ($30 application fee) or if you are opening a Florida College Investment Plan and a Florida Prepaid College Plan for the same beneficiary at the same time ($80 total application fee).

You must also include an initial contribution of at least $250 with your application or set up a recurring automatic payment of at least $25. You may contribute as much as you want, up to the current maximum contribution amount.

Q. Will I pay commissions, sales charges or management fees?

A. You will pay no commissions or sales charges for the Florida College Investment Plan. There is a one-time application fee and a low annual administration fee of just ¾ of 1 percent (75 basis points) of your account balance. So, for every $1,000 in your account, you will pay only $7.50 a year.

Q. Are there any other fees?

A. Yes.

  • Cancellation Fee - $50 fee to voluntarily close (cancel/terminate) your account.
  • Insufficient Funds Fee - $20 fee if a check or automatic contribution is returned for insufficient funds.
  • Rollover Fee - $50 to transfer your Florida College Investment Plan to another 529 plan.
