A great opportunity for those who apply ..they must get their applications in the end of the 6th grade from their middle school guidance counselor, parent(s) must fill out a financial form and submit it to TAKE STOCK IN CHILDREN..if selected the students are given a mentor who meets with them weekly,maintain a 2.5 GPA,and have no discipline referrals,.upon Graduation they are awarded a four scholarship to any FLORIDA ACCREDITED COLLEGE!!
This is an awesome program and opportunity for our youth, our son was one of the recipients and awarded the scholarship his Senior year, many years ago.
Congratulations to all who are chosen as recipients and to those who achieve holding onto the scholarship through the years up unto graduation.
