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.
