We offer an annual one-time $1,000 scholarship to help a Florida student overcome financial hurdles while pursuing higher education. We will send the funds directly to the registrar's office of the winner's college or university: it covers tuition, housing, books, and related expenses.
Investing in Future Leaders
Education is key to personal and professional growth. It opens doors to new opportunities and encourages participation in the community. However, the rising cost of higher education often creates challenges, particularly for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Our scholarship is designed to help reduce the financial strain of pursuing a college degree and empower students to achieve their goals.
