Of course! Florida is known for having some excellent and affordable colleges for out-of-state students. Here are a few options you might want to consider as you search for colleges within your budget:

1. Florida State University (FSU): FSU is a public research university in Tallahassee, offering reasonable tuition rates for out-of-state students. The university provides a variety of scholarships and financial aid opportunities that can help offset the costs further.

2. University of Central Florida (UCF): Another affordable option is UCF, located in Orlando. UCF offers a wide range of academic programs and has a lower out-of-state tuition rate compared to some other schools. They also have scholarships for out-of-state students you can apply for.

3. University of South Florida (USF): USF is a public university located in Tampa. The school has a relatively lower out-of-state tuition rate as well. They award many scholarships to help students with costs, so make sure to explore their financial aid options.

4. University of West Florida (UWF): Located in Pensacola, UWF offers one of the lowest out-of-state tuition rates among public universities in Florida. You'll find many scholarships and financial aid programs to help with costs.

5. Florida International University (FIU): FIU, located in Miami, has an affordable out-of-state tuition rate and provides a variety of financial aid opportunities to eligible students.

Keep in mind that each of these universities has their own unique merit- and need-based scholarships available, so make sure to research their financial aid opportunities and apply for those that you qualify for.

Also, consider using each school's Net Price Calculator to estimate the cost of attendance, factoring in the available financial aid. This will help you determine how affordable each school will be for your specific situation. Good luck with your search!
