Local Dollars Invested in Local Students
The Education Foundation of Alachua County portal for Class of 2024-2025 scholarship applications is now closed.
The Class of 2025-2026 scholarship application will open up December 2025.
During the 2024-2025 school year, we will be awarding over $172,000 in scholarships to 79 high school seniors. Each scholarship, ranging from $1,000 to $6,200, is thanks to the generous support of local individuals, families, business, and civic organizations. Check out the full list of 2025 senior scholarship recipients!
Students must complete one application to be considered for the more than 80 scholarships that they may be eligible for. Additional information regarding documents seniors will need to submit with the application, including a letter/s of recommendation, full high school transcript, and personal resume detailing academic and extracurricular activities. Once the student has submitted the general application students should return to the dashboard tab and confirm completion of any follow-up work. Some of our Senior Scholarships have additional requirements you have to complete in order to be eligible for that specific scholarship.
We have around 400 high school seniors apply for our Senior Scholarship program each year, and in 2025 alone, we were able to award over 126 students with scholarships(Senior Scholarships and Take Stock in Children) for a total of $580,600. While each scholarship has its own criteria set forth by the donor, they all bear one commonality: to help Alachua County Public Schools students succeed in their pursuit to receive a post-secondary education. These scholarships help our students pay for college expenses such as tuition, fees, housing, and books.
My dream is to work in the medical field, a path that is both demanding and costly. This scholarship provides not only financial support but also a powerful boost of encouragement. It reassures me that I am on the right track and motivates me to keep striving for excellence.
Thank you for investing in my future and believing in my potential.”
