Soar in 4

Florida Gulf Coast University offers first-time-in-college (FTIC) students an incentive to graduate within four years provided that students complete a certain set of requirements during their time here. This includes: (1) meeting with an Academic Advisor at least once a year, every year; (2) declaring a major within the first year; (3) meeting with a Career Adviser in Career Development Services and attending an event hosted by this office; and (4) completing an internship or co-operative experience. Students are also required to graduate within four years and obtain employment in the State of Florida within six months of graduation earning at least $25,000.00. If a student adheres to these requirements, FGCU will rebate first-year, out-of-pocket, tuition expenses for up to 30 credit hours.

Students' Soar in 4 rebates are calculated by subtracting Gift Aid from the Total Tuition charged during the First Year for up to thirty credit hours. When calculating your rebate, any payment posted to your student account that is not out-of-pocket will be considered to be Gift Aid. Some examples would be scholarships, grants, waivers, third party payments and veteran benefits. The first example below is for a student paying In-State Tuition and the second example is for a student paying Out-of-State Tuition.
