Ideal Applicant
Students seeking higher-education scholarships and educational organizations or colleges running scholarship programs; especially applicants or partners with a clear K–12 or higher-education scholarship angle and ties to Florida.
Good Fit
- • Direct alignment with scholarships or K–12/higher-education technology grants.
- • Ability to demonstrate student-level impact and to provide requested application materials (e.g., teacher recommendation).
- • For institutional partners, capacity to administer or host a named scholarship (college partnerships are present in the record).
- • Programs serving Florida learners or regions where the foundation has previously awarded funds.
Geography
Grants in the latest year reached recipients in 17 states, so giving is multi-state even though a majority of dollars were directed to Florida.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 34 distinct recipients and many small individual scholarship awards alongside one larger institutional grant, indicating a broad recipient set rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover exists (about 15 new recipients in 2024) and the foundation publishes a scholarship application page and an application email, although some non-scholarship awards are described as preselected.
