ABOUT EARN TO LEARN FL

We Empower Low-to-Moderate Income Students to Successfully Complete College

Established in 2011, Earn to Learn FL is a successful matched savings financial assistance program. It combines student savings with financial assistance, personal finance training, and college success coaching to help low-to moderate-income and under-represented students obtain a college education and graduate career ready with little to no student loan debt.

Eligible students and their families deposit up to $500 into an Earn to Learn FL savings account each year, then receive an 8:1 match through combined university support and other public and philanthropic funding. This creates up to $4,500 per academic year in funds for tuition, books, fees and other approved educational related expenses.

FIND YOUR ROLE
Earn to Learn FL™ has blessed me so much, as my family faces a significant deal of financial burden and emotional stress, and the program has allowed me to become a first-generation college student.

Janet Del Valle

My dream job is to become a PA and provide my services to a low-income community like the one I grew up in. I want to help people who have a hard time receiving medical care due to financial hardships, legal residency concerns, or a language barrier.

Bianca Plata

I moved to Florida with barely enough money for my first semester of college. I didn’t know if I would have to take time off or take out loans. But thanks to Earn to Learn FL™, I’m on track to graduate on time and have zero debt.

Zoey Smith

Because of my family’s economic position, there has always been a lack of financial knowledge. I cannot thank this program enough for working with me and giving me the opportunity to become proficient in my financial skills.
