ChairScholars Foundation - Florida Program
The Florida Scholarship Program is available to 7th to 11th grade students attending public school in all Florida counties. These awards provide tuition for college or vocational school with Florida Prepaid Tuition Scholarships. To date, 502 scholarship have been awarded.
The Foundation works collaboratively with the Education Foundation in each county, and Take Stock in Children Programs to identify qualified students. Selected students are provided with a mentor until they graduate from high school. These students also sign a “contract” pledging to stay drug-free and crime-free in order to keep their scholarship. Scholarships and contracts are distributed at the Annual ChairScholars Festival held in Odessa, Florida. See the News and Events section of our website for festival details.
To qualify for a scholarship, students must:
- Have a serious physical disability
- Be eligible for their school's “Free or Reduced Lunch Program”
- Have at least a “B” scholastic average
- Be enrolled in a Florida public school.
