Good to know: EDD is a State of Florida privilege — not an entitlement. Funding always depends on Servicemember qualification, available state appropriation, and program law/directive as established by the appropriate authority.

Applied Technology Academy has proudly served Florida's airmen and soldiers since 2019. We're grateful for all that you do for our country and the great State of Florida.
