Financial Fellowship
A Premier Program for School Finance Leadership
About the Fellowship
Strong financial leadership is the foundation of sustainable, high-quality charter schools. The Florida Charter Institute (FCI) is launching the Financial Fellowship, a premier program designed to prepare exceptional finance leaders who will safeguard school sustainability, protect taxpayer dollars, and strengthen Florida’s charter sector.
Why this Fellowship
Charter schools face unique funding challenges, from cash flow management to facilities financing.

The Fellowship closes this gap by building a pipeline of financial leaders committed to school success.
