Local Flavor
While you’re in the area, don’t forget to visit the Kennedy Space Center, Historic Downtown Melbourne and Cocoa Beach – home to the world famous Ron Jon Surf Shop. The many attractions of Orlando, Tampa, Miami and Jacksonville are all within a few hours’ drive of Melbourne and make a nice addition to your vacation. Of course, there are also plenty of things to do right here in Melbourne, even on campus. Be sure to check out some of the local happenings!
Visit Grant
As if you needed any more incentives to visit Florida Tech, but in case you did (or perhaps mom & dad would like one!), we offer a Florida Tech visit grant. We’ll award a $1,000 per year (total of $4,000 over 4 years) grant toward tuition costs, applicable to students who have visited campus prior to enrolling. That means you’ll get a $1000 discount just for checking us out when you decide to enroll and attend Florida Tech! We know our beautiful campus, outstanding facilities and amazing students, faculty and staff will make your visit experience wonderful, and a visit grant should just seal the deal!
