MORE THAN $40 MILLION AWARDED EACH YEAR

Ninety-one percent (91%) of students graduate debt-free. Financial aid is awarded to students who meet eligibility requirements and have a valid FAFSA on file at IRSC.*

Grants

This type of aid doesn’t need to be paid back. These include Pell Grants, Florida Student Assistance Grants and IRSC Financial Need Grants.

Scholarships

IRSC can connect deserving students with scholarships based on academic achievement, athletic or artistic talent, field of study, financial need or student characteristics. Like grants, scholarship awards do not require repayment.

Loans

Loans must be repaid. You can defer payment until you’re out of college, but interest may accrue. Examples include Federal Direct Student Loans (Subsidized and Unsubsidized) and PLUS loans.
