The Independent Colleges & Universities of Florida said in July that many of its 28 member schools have increased their financial aid to help keep costs affordable during the recession. One ICUF institution, Bethune-Cookman, reported that the number of students who said they cannot afford to attend the university after they were accepted has doubled. A survey sampling of ICUF members found that most schools accepted more students than normal this year because of uncertainty about whether students who are admitted will actually show up for the fall semester beginning next month.
