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:
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.
You may also be interested to know that the EPI program qualifies for several types of financial aid to assist students with program expenses including federal student loans, Workforce funding, and Pell Grants. To explore options for financial aid further:
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 further assistance.
Military veterans or their spouses may be interested in 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 coordinator as soon as possible to review the entry process in greater detail. Students accepted into the EPI program may begin their course work at any point in time during the year and have the flexibility to complete their courses in any order. New EPI courses begin about every five weeks.
