Indirect Cost Guidelines

Our federally approved indirect cost rate is 41%, and Florida SouthWestern State College is authorized to charge this rate on all grants it receives unless otherwise instructed by the granting agency. Florida SouthWestern State College has approved the guidelines on this page that all departments should adhere to and build into their budgets when preparing a grant application:

The rates listed are for use on grants, contracts and other agreements with the federal government, subject to certain terms and conditions.

*Total direct costs excluding capital expenditures (building, individual items of equipment, renovations, etc.) and that portion of each sub-award in excess of $25,000.
