Starting college early is smart – you can save money and time, get an early introduction to college life, and start investing in your future. At SCF, we have several ways for qualified Manatee and Sarasota public high school students to get a head start on college without paying tuition and certain fees.

The Early College program allows qualified high school students to dual enroll in selected college courses with credits that count toward both a high school diploma and an associate degree.

Dual enrollment options exist for public, private and home education students. Classes are available at SCF Bradenton, SCF Venice, SCF Lakewood Ranch and online.
