    About this scholarship

    This state-funded program assists students who are pursuing specific short-term, high-demand workforce certificates and career training programs. It is designed to help cover the cost of tuition and fees, and depending on funding availability, it may also assist with additional educational expenses such as required exams, textbooks, and uniforms. Candidates must be verified United States citizens and Florida residents enrolled in an approved technical program at the college. Financial need is not a requirement, and applicants do not need to complete a federal student aid application to qualify for these funds.

    How we check listings

    Every listing links to the provider's official page. Before it goes live, its amount and dates must appear on that page, the link must work and it must pass our scam checks; anything that fails a check waits for an editor. We re-check links every week. Listings not re-verified within six months leave our search until they are.
