Schedule a meeting (parents are welcome too!) with an enrollment counselor now to get your questions answered and learn next steps for admission, financial aid, scholarships and more! Email us at enroll@fgc.edu or call 386-752-1822. In the meantime, explore our Academic Programs and review the guide below. We offer 4 month to 4 year programs, online and in-person classes, and the academic support you need to succeed.
Once the 24-25 FAFSA becomes available in December 2023, complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) whether you think you are eligible or not. Many scholarship opportunities at FGC require a completed FAFSA. Check this step off your list as early as possible, as this may be completed prior to admission. Go to www.fafsa.ed.gov
FGC school code: 001501. Visit Financial Aid for more information.
Why is the 24-25 FAFSA not available until December 2023? Click here for the details.
If you’re looking for scholarships that can follow you to FGC or your college of choice, here are a few scholarship services you may want to try. FGC has tons of institutional scholarship opportunities for our students, but we know your path may take you to another college, which we applaud and wish you the best. Easily find scholarship matches and submit applications for thousands of dollars at Fast web Scholarships, Scholly (requires paid subscription) and Florida Student Scholarship Grant Programs (for in-state schools).
This requirement allows you to be considered for in-state tuition rates. You may complete this step when you apply for admission by submitting the residency form and documents. Proving residency reduces your tuition by over 70%. For example, a 3 credit class will cost $310 instead of $1,175.
Residency declaration and supporting documentation may be submitted to Enrollment Services through mail, email, or fax. Mailing address: Enrollment Services, Florida Gateway College, 149 SE College Place, Lake City, FL 32025. Email address: enrollment.services@fgc.edu. Fax: 386-754-4581.
FGC is now offering reduced tuition (in-state tuition plus only 5%) to residents of over 90 Georgia Counties. View the Residency Request for Georgia Differential Out-of-State Fee for eligible counties.
Receive your letter of acceptance that will include important information like log-in information for MyFGC and student email, as well as steps following admission.
Advising is required before you register to discuss your academic plan. Your success as a student is our priority. Make an appointment by contacting Advising Services at advising@fgc.edu or at 386-754-4222. Advising is located Student Union Building, Bldg. 14.
Some programs have different advisors. Check the Advising Guide to determine your advisor.
