Florida Polytechnic University

Florida Polytechnic University makes advanced STEM education more affordable through graduate financial aid offerings tied directly to its graduate enrollment and student support systems. The university positions graduate study as an accessible option for students pursuing master’s-level education in Florida, with funding pathways that include institutional scholarships, graduate assistantships, and federal aid. Its graduate aid structure includes Florida Poly Graduate Scholarships worth up to $4,000 per year for students pursuing the course-only path in a graduate program, with a July 15 deadline tied to submission of the graduate admissions application and supporting documentation. Florida Poly also offers a limited number of full scholarship graduate assistantships that typically cover tuition and include additional compensation, connecting financial support with academic and university work. For students seeking federal assistance, the university administers aid using FAFSA school code 042634 and directs graduate students to options such as Federal Work-Study, Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loans, and Federal Direct Grad PLUS Loans. The university’s approach serves graduate students who need different forms of support depending on enrollment status, financial need, and academic progress. Federal Work-Study positions are part-time, typically capped at 20 hours per week, and may be available in areas such as the Admissions Center, Cashier or Bursar, Laboratory Assistance, Academic Success Center, Student Development, Student Records, and off-campus tutoring. Loan eligibility and work-study participation are tied to standards such as at least half-time enrollment, satisfactory academic progress, and annual FAFSA submission. Through these programs, Florida Polytechnic University integrates affordability, graduate access, and practical campus employment into its broader graduate education model.
