The “Florida’s Future Billions” report conducted by Helios Education Foundation, which supports higher education for low-income or underrepresented communities, conducted the study. The analysis found that just a 10% increase in students for Florida’s postsecondary education system would account for a $8.38 billion increase in economic output for the state.
“Florida has one of the strongest and most affordable public college and university systems in the country. However, there are still significant economic benefits to further expanding access to postsecondary education,” added Paul Perrault, Senior Vice President of Community Impact and Learning at Helios Education Foundation.
