For Florida students with a 3.5 GPA, our newest program will cover your full tuition if your family income is less than $50,000 a year (Adjusted Gross Income on 2019 tax return). Students must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and be determined to be Florida Residents by Saint Leo’s Student Financial Services Office to qualify.

Here’s How it Works:

The Tuition Advantage Program is designed to cover the full tuition of Florida resident students with a 3.5 unweighted high school GPA or higher, whose families make less than $50,000 per year based on the Adjusted Gross Income (AGI)* on their 2019 tax return. The program covers the student's full tuition when institutional, state, and federal funds are added. Students must enter Saint Leo's University Campus as an incoming freshman student.

Students who participate in the Tuition Advantage Program are eligible to attend Saint Leo's University Campus for a bachelor's degree program at no out-of-pocket tuition cost. The four-year estimated value of a Tuition Advantage financial aid package exceeds $100,000. 

*Adjusted gross income is determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Florida residency is determined by the FAFSA as well as the Student Financial Services Office at Saint Leo.

Requirements:

• Maintain continuous full-time enrollment (12-15 credits per semester)
• Maintain a minimum 2.00 GPA
• Must complete Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
