Foundation The Chipola College Foundation, a nonprofit support organization for the College, provides a means for individuals, groups and businesses to make tax deductible contributions which can be used to support scholarships, staff development, library development, the fine and performing arts, and the Honors Program. As the need has grown, Chipola alumni and friends have responded by funding additional scholarships. During the 2011-12 fiscal year, over $627,000 was expended by the Foundation for tuition and books for 940 students. Some Foundation scholarships are designated for specific majors; others are designated by county of residence or high school attended. Many scholarships are based on financial need and merit; some are based on merit alone. To be considered for many scholarships you should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at www.fafsa.ed.gov/ to determine if you are eligible for federal or state aid; then apply for Foundation funds. A list of scholarships, including application deadlines, may be obtained by calling the Foundation Office at (850) 718-2445, by writing the Chipola College Foundation at 3094 Indian Circle, Marianna, FL 32446-2053, or via the Chipola website.

State Employee Fee Waivers As a qualified state employee, Chipola College can help you enhance your job skills and work toward a college degree at the same time. As an added benefit, you may be eligible for a tuition fee waiver for up to six semester credit hours of college credit on a space available basis. All full-time permanent employees of a state agency, as certified by your human resources department, are eligible. (Eligibility is also subject to verification of employment by the State of Florida Comptroller’s Office.) Because the College receives no tuition for waived courses, waivers are only available for those courses that have not been filled by fee-paying students or those utilizing scholarships or grants. Therefore, the dates of registration are limited. Initial registration for each term must be on an approved state waiver registration date, usually the first day of late registration. In addition, some courses, by their nature, do not qualify for the waiver. These include on-line, directed individualized study, independent study, non-college credit (such as workforce development clock-hour and continuing education programs/courses), and limited access or selective admission programs such as baccalaureate, nursing, fire science technology, EMT, and other AS degree programs. A waiver will be allowed for a maximum of six college credit hours per semester at the current, approved fee rate ($102 per credit hour for the 2012/2013 academic year.) State employees are responsible for paying processing fees, testing fees, lab fees, and any other special fees. Late registration fees will not be assessed for state employees utilizing the fee waiver. Chipola College accepts only the official Chipola College - State Employee Tuition Waiver Form. Check the college website at www.chipola.edu/fiscal/waiver.htm for guidelines and additional information. If you are a full-time permanent state employee, check this out! Student Handbook 15
