Application Materials

SFCC’s Educator Preparation Institute (EPI) was established in fall 2006, and many of its graduates have now completed their transition to teaching! Your interest in EPI is appreciated, and we are pleased to provide you with information about the program. The documents linked to this page that will help you with your application process include:

• EPI Student Information (a detailed handout which should answer many of your questions about the EPI Program and provides helpful resources)
• EPI Application for Admission
• EPI Admission Process Flowchart (a brief overview of the EPI application process)
• Getting Started at SFCC (a summary of how to complete your application to SFCC)

The completed EPI application may be returned via postal mail; however, it is preferred that it be returned by e-mail as an attachment. The SFCC application may be returned to any SFCC campus or be submitted online via the SFCC Admissions Web site.

EPI students qualify for several types of financial aid, including federal student loans, Florida Workforce funding, and Pell Grants. To explore options for financial aid:

Complete an online FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) at www.fafsa.ed.gov, or call the SFCC Financial Aid Office at (863) 784-7108 for assistance.

Military veterans or their spouses may be eligible for the Troops to Teachers or Spouses to Teachers stipend program. More information can be obtained at www.proudtoserveagain.com or by calling (850) 245-5023.

If you would like to join an upcoming EPI class, it is essential that you begin your EPI and SFCC application processes immediately. It is suggested that you make an appointment to meet with the program director as soon as possible to review the admission process.
