STI CLASSIC FUNDS

                    SUPPLEMENT DATED AUGUST 9, 2006, TO THE
   STI CLASSIC FLORIDA TAX-EXEMPT BOND FUND PROSPECTUSES (A, C AND I SHARES)
                              DATED AUGUST 1, 2006

As a result of the recent repeal of the Florida intangible personal property
tax, the STI Classic Funds' Board of Trustees has approved restructuring the STI
Classic Florida Tax-Exempt Bond Fund as the STI Classic High Grade Municipal
Bond Fund. THIS RESTRUCTURING WILL NOT OCCUR UNLESS SHAREHOLDERS APPROVE A
CHANGE TO ONE OF THE FUND'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AS DISCUSSED BELOW.

A meeting of the Fund's shareholders will be held in mid-October 2006. A
proposal to change the Fund's fundamental investment policy of investing, "at
least 80% of its net assets in municipal securities with income exempt from
federal income taxes, and the shares themselves expected to be exempt from the
Florida intangible personal property tax", will be included in the proxy
statement. If approved, the Fund will change its name to the STI Classic High
Grade Municipal Bond Fund and adopt new investment strategies and policies.
Shareholders who are eligible to vote at the shareholder meeting will receive
proxy materials in mid-September.

              PLEASE RETAIN THIS SUPPLEMENT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
