The Florida Prepaid College Tuition Program
|
| The Foundation continues to invest in the future with it’s partnership with the Florida Prepaid College Tuition Foundation. The Broward Education Foundation, with a match from the Prepaid Foundation, is able to purchase prepaid contracts through the State of Florida. It provides a defined benefit college tuition contract for State universities, community colleges, and vocational/technical centers. Administered by the State of Florida, The Broward Education Foundation invests in this program for many reasons: it provides a defined benefit, its value is guaranteed, as a long term investment it acts as a hedge against inflation, but most importantly the contracts are matched 1:1 by the Florida Prepaid College Tuition Foundation.
