    FLORIDA GATEWAY COLLEGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES SCHOLARSHIP

     

    We are thrilled to extend an invitation to all 2025 graduating seniors to apply for this incredible scholarship!

    We recognize that the financial burden of college can be overwhelming for many students and their families. In light of this, we strongly encourage all eligible seniors to apply for the Board of Trustees Scholarship. This scholarship will cover the first two years of their education here at Florida Gateway College, thereby alleviating some of the financial pressures that often accompany the pursuit of higher education.

    Our hope is that this scholarship not only eases their financial load but also inspires them to reach their full academic potential and achieve their long-term career goals.

    I have attached a Board of Trustees Information packet and grading rubric to this email as well, you are more than welcome to hand it out to your seniors. I will also have copies with me at my FAFSA visits.

    Below is the link to the BOT application and the updated scholarship criteria.
