Florida's scholarships can pay a college directly. Two of five allow it.
We coded 38 Florida education funding streams by who can be paid from each, and how. Colleges and districts can take money from the same two scholarships. Private schools and nonprofits can take it from all five.
Florida scholarship programs that can pay a college or university directly: FES-UA and PEP
that can pay a school district, through "contracted services provided by a public school or school district"
that can pay a private school or a nonprofit provider directly
funding streams coded, FY 2026–27, across 11 kinds of organization
Who can be paid, and how
Each number counts streams that reach that kind of organization by that route. Dashed cells have none. Tap a cell to see its streams.
On paper, a college can be paid from the same two scholarships that 53 Florida districts already sell into.
FES-UA and PEP pay for tuition at an eligible postsecondary institution and for classes a public school or district provides under contract. Districts used that permission within a year. Whether any Florida college has registered as a provider is not yet checked. See the district curve · Readiness Index

What we changed on the way in
The first version of this coding closed two scholarships to colleges, districts and charter schools. The statute opens them. These cells were recoded and re-checked on the date shown.
