The 2024-2025 Budget proposed today by Governor Ron DeSantis demonstrates continued support for New College of Florida’s mission. New College has made tremendous strides in 2023 toward reestablishing its premier positioning among America’s elite higher education institutions. “Governor DeSantis has demonstrated his commitment to New College’s growth and improvement in this budget and we sincerely appreciate his continued support,” said New College President Richard Corcoran. “This is an important first step in structuring next year’s budget, and we look forward to working with the Legislature over the next several months to secure funds to serve our students and a bright future for New College.” The Governor’s proposed budget provides an increased appropriation from 2023-2024, which if approved by the Legislature will allow the flexibility to hire and retain elite faculty, provide a student experience that is second to none, and improve facilities campuswide.
