Dual Enrollment Official College Transcript Incentive Program
The purpose of this Letter to Commission is to update you on the status of the City's Official
College Transcript Incentive Program for Miami Beach Senior High School graduating seniors
participating in the city-funded dual enrollment program.
Graduating 12th graders who have taken dual enrollment college courses at Miami Beach Senior
High School or Miami Beach Nautilus Middle School through Florida International University (FIU),
the University of Florida (UF), and/or Miami Dade College (MDC) are eligible to participate. This
program covers the cost of obtaining official transcripts required during the college application
process from FIU, UF, and MDC. FIU charges $10 for each official transcript, UF charges $10,
and MDC charges $5. The program will pay for up to five sets of official transcripts, which could
amount to a savings of $125 per student.
To participate, Miami Beach Senior High School 12th graders must pre-register at
https://online2.snapsurveys.com/ipbxiz. The deadline to apply is February 9, 2025. Once
registered, staff from the Office of Education and Performance Initiatives will review applications
for eligibility and distribute $100, $50, and/or $25 gift cards to cover the cost of required official
transcripts.
Currently, the City funds the college instructor fee for all dual enrollment courses offered at Miami
Beach Senior High School and Miami Beach Nautilus Middle School. Dual enrollment allows
students to begin accumulating college credits at no cost while still in high school and middle
school. Students can work towards graduating from college on time or even early saving their
families up to $150,000.

The Youth Commission is working to promote this program to help ensure all eligible graduating
seniors apply.
We will continue to support our vision of being an inclusive city with a special flavor of arts, culture,
education, and business with the management objectives of being known for (PreK-12)
educational excellence. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Chief Education
and Performance Officer, Dr. Leslie Rosenfeld.
