FGC and the Florida Department of Education have partnered to offer the Open Door Grant Program, designed to support students in completion of short-term, in demand career and technical education programs. The purpose of the program is to better equip the workforce with needed skills/training, make workforce training more affordable and increase the interest in short term, high demand workforce education.
Open Door Grant funds will be applied to the students account once the application has been approved, student program/course registration is verified, and other aid is applied.
June 2023 Update: Legislative changes have occurred that impact the DOE department responsible for administering this grant, as well as funding available and requirements to receive the grant. We anticipate grant funds will be available for students in Fall 2023, but are not certain on amount or criteria. We will post updates to this page as we receive notifications on the future of the Open Door Grant.
