Program Eligibility

CARIBE is the education provider for Refugee Resettlement Services in Hillsborough County and is funded through the Florida Department of Children and Families as contracted by Lutheran Services of Florida. As a result, new entrants interested in enrolling in the CARIBE program must first register with Lutheran Services of Florida and obtain a referral for education services.


You are eligible for enrollment in the CARIBE program if you are part of a special population supported by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (including refugee, asylee, parolee, or special immigrant status). The eligibility period is 5 years beginning on the date of entry into the United States.
