Program Cost and Financial Assistance
The cost of the Brewing Arts Program at USF St. Petersburg $5,000. This cost is all inclusive with the exception of text books (that are not available in classroom) and any costs associated with hands on training (living costs and transportation).
The Brewing Arts Program is a non-academic, not-for-credit program; therefore federal and state financial aid do not apply.
College savings plans are accepted, including Florida Prepaid and 529 plans.
For all participants seeking financial assistance, USFFCU offers a personal line of credit up to $5,000 to be used for educational purposes. Reach out to a loan officer at 813-569-2000 or toll-free (800) 763-2005 for more information or apply online.
