Supporting Florida’s Independent Private Education Institutions
The Independent Colleges and Universities Benefits Association (ICUBA) is a collaborative benefits program serving employees and families of Florida’s private colleges and universities. Through ICUBA, member institutions pool their resources to provide comprehensive, high-quality benefits while maintaining strong financial stewardship and long-term sustainability.
ICUBA’s mission is simple: to deliver competitive benefits, innovative healthcare solutions, and meaningful wellbeing resources that support the people who make higher education thrive. By working together, member institutions gain greater purchasing power and access to programs that would often be difficult for individual organizations to provide on their own.
