The Florida-Canada Linkage Institute was created by the Florida legislature to foster educational, commercial, cultural and social exchanges between Canada and the State of Florida. The Institute, funded and administered through the Office of Academic Affairs and located within the Office of International Studies, promotes international collaboration through expanded public/private dialogues on cooperative research and technical assistance, cultural exchanges, the enhancement of language training, and student/faculty exchange programs. The institute administers the Out of State Tuition Fee Exemptions Program that is available for Canadian students to study in Florida state universities and community colleges for the same tuition and fees as Florida residents. The awards are limited to 25 FTE and are competitive.
