Formal education beyond high school has become extremely important in this age of
international competition, high technology, and rapid communication. Many students who
graduate this year will go directly to work after high school. Most who do will eventually
engage in some form of formal postsecondary education. Others will seek formal education
first and eventually go to work. Florida high school graduates are encouraged to take
advantage, as early as possible,. of the educational opportunities afforded them so that the
benefits of higher education can be enjoyed for the maximum amount of time during a
lifetime. Florida provides many educational opportunities beyond high school, through
public and private postsecondary institutions, for students to continue the preparation they
began in high school for employment, civic responsibility, and for self fulfillment. These
opportunities should be weighed carefully since educational choices have a long lasting
effect.
The Counseling for Future Education Handbook is designed to facilitate the transition from
high school to postsecondary education. It provides information about the various kinds of
postsecondary educational opportunities available in Florida and procedural and financial
information important to those students who will be seeking additional education
immediately after graduation. It also provides information about the kind of high school
preparation needed for admission and success in postsecondary institutions and programs.
We are grateful to the institutions and individuals who have provided information and
prepared the materials for this publication. We are especially grateful to the Florida
Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators for agreeing to include information in
this publication which was previously made available to high school counselors in a separate
publication entitled the Florida High School Counselor Resource Book. Special thanks are
also expressed to the Barnett Higher Education Loan Program, a division of the Barnett
Bank, Inc. The Barnett Higher Education Loan Program has funded both the Counseling
for Future Education Handbook and the Florida High School Counselor Resource Book in the
past and has once more provided funds for printing this handbook which combines the
information from both publications.
To our high school principals, teachers, counselors, and school staff, may I say thank you
for dedicating yourselves to the success of your students and extend to you best wishes for
an enjoyable and productive school year.

The Counseling for Future Education Handbook is prepared and updated annually in
response to needs expressed by high school counselors for a simple, easy to understand
but comprehensive guide to help students make decisions about application for admis-
sion to postsecondary education institutions. The handbook is not meant to provide
detailed information about individual institutions, programs, majors or extracurricular
activities. Instead, it is a general guide to admissions requirements and procedures for
students who have not selected a postsecondary institution and who may be uncertain of
their eligibility for admission.
Counselors are encouraged to use this handbook in conjunction with the many other
resources currently available. These include not only the Florida Statutes and accompa-
nying rules and regulations related to secondary and postsecondary education, but also
detailed information on specific colleges and designated area technical education centers
described in their catalogues and promotional materials.
Education is changing rapidly throughout Florida, and it can be difficult to keep the
most current material on hand. The quest for excellence has already led to higher stan-
dards for admission to college and increased the level of secondary preparation required
for high school igaduation. As these and other changes
are implemented, the informa-
tion provided here will become obsolete. For that
reason, we have provided the names
and phone numbers of the admissions officers at responding colleges and schools.
Please feel free to contact them when you need additional information, explanation,
or
assistance.
The handbook wasdeveloped as a collaborative effort of various agencies within the
Florida Department of Education and representatives of public high schools, community
colleges, area technical education centers, and state universities. The members of the
Handbook Steering Committee are grateful for the cooperation of Florida's colleges and
designated area technical education centers for providing the information contained in
this handbook. Comments or requests for changes
or improvements to this handbook
should be addressed to Mr. Taylor Cullar, Office of Postsecondary Education Coordina-
tion, Florida Department of Education, 1101 Florida Education Center, Tallahassee,
Florida 32399-0400, or to any of the members of the Handbook Steering Committee.
