Denying Florida Career College student aid represents one of the most significant enforcement actions the Office of Federal Student Aid, or FSA, has ever taken. It matches the Biden administration’s stated goals of holding poorly performing colleges — namely for-profits — accountable.
FSA periodically rejects colleges from participating in student aid programs. However, rarely has it denied financial aid access to such a large institution. As of late 2022, FCC enrolled about 5,000 students in short-term programs, according to the Education Department, across a dozen campuses in Florida and Texas.
