How It Works
We will award 5 high school seniors with two full years of college tuition! Scholarships will cover full tuition and local fees for 60 lower division semester credit hours at any Florida university, college or trade-school. Eligible students must attend a public or charter high school in Florida. This scholarship is in partnership with Florida Prepaid.
