Graduating 12 th 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 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.
