Tuition Advantage Program
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 2020 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.
