Isabella Curtis Scholarship Fund

This program supports graduates of LaBelle High School who reside in Western Hendry or Glades County, Florida, as they pursue higher education. It is designed for full-time, degree-seeking students attending Florida SouthWestern State College. The award helps bridge the financial gap by covering approved educational costs, such as tuition, fees, and textbooks, that remain after federal Pell Grant funds have been applied. Recipients must utilize the funding during the academic year immediately following high school graduation and maintain a minimum completion rate and grade point average to remain eligible. Funding can be used for up to five semesters, and eligible students with prior college credits may apply the funds toward coursework beyond their associate degree.

The award is renewable. Eligibility on record: open to high school students and undergraduates (12th grade, college 1st year, and college 2nd year); for residents of Florida; minimum GPA 2.0; financial need is considered; usable at a 2-year college, 4-year college, or public college. The next deadline on record is June 1, 2027, and the deadline recurs each year. No essay is required.
