Scholarships

A scholarship is an amount of money for college that never has to be repaid. You can apply for scholarships at Florida College or for general scholarships from outside clubs, companies, and organizations.

Florida College Scholarships

Florida College offers three types of scholarships:

• Academic Scholarships. These awards are based on high school GPA and ACT/SAT scores. Your highest score will be recorded so take these tests more than once!
• Endowed Scholarships. These awards are created by private donors, often for a specific purpose, and are awarded based on need. To qualify, you must file both a FAFSA and an Endowed Scholarship Application form.
• Departmental Scholarships. These awards are based on proficiency and previous experience in vocal music, band, sports, and forensics. Students audition or try-out for these awards.

Florida College also offers students the opportunity to participate in The Adopt Program. These scholarships are designed to help deserving students who, after going through the normal channels for financial aid, still fall short of finances needed to attend Florida College. The amount available per student ranges from $500 to $5000 per school year.
