Tuition Differential Fee Plan

The Tuition Differential Fee Plan covers the tuition differential fee charged by a public university in Florida pursuant to Section 1009.24(16), Florida Statutes. All state universities in Florida charge this fee.

Beneficiaries for whom Prepaid Plan contracts were in effect prior to July 1, 2007 and include the 4-Yr University Tuition Plan or the 2 + 2 Tuition Plan, are exempt from the tuition differential fee. The Tuition Differential Fee Plans do not include payment of local fees or other institutionally-imposed fees.

The Tuition Differential Fee Plan supplements the Tuition Plan; therefore it must be the same type as your Tuition Plan. It may only be purchased for a child who is currently in the eleventh grade or below. The following Tuition Differential Fee Plans are available for purchase:

• The 4-Yr University TDF Plan may be added to a 4-Yr University Tuition Plan and covers the tuition differential fee associated with 120 undergraduate credit hours at a Florida state university.
• The 2 + 2 TDF Plan may be added to a 2 + 2 Tuition Plan and covers the tuition differential fee associated with 60 undergraduate credit hours at a Florida state university.

Three payment options are available for the Tuition Differential Fee Plan, including monthly payments until your child is ready for college, a 55-month payment plan or a lump-sum payment plan.

Important! You may enroll in the Florida Prepaid College Plan now, but you will be subject to the new plan prices effective in October 2012.

* The Florida Prepaid College Board does not provide tax or investment advice regarding its Prepaid College Plan or its College Investment Plan. The Florida Prepaid College Plan may not cover certain imposed fees by state universities and state colleges. The Florida College Investment Plan is subject to market conditions.

Please carefully review the Disclosure Statement and Participation Agreement and consult with your advisor(s) about risks before investing in your child’s education.
