Free College for 2025 graduates

Your first step to attending Valencia College for free is to complete your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The College Access Program will pay any tuition and fees not covered by your FAFSA award.

The result is that you pay no out-of-pocket costs for tuition and fees when you attend Valencia College for an associate degree, technical certificate or Accelerated Skills Training. Your Valencia College application fee is even free.

Let's start by making sure you're eligible.
