Hollis Fellows Scholarship

Making a Difference Has Its Rewards

Great teachers change lives, and the Hollis Fellows Scholarship helps future educators get there. Established by Mark and Lynn Hollis, parents of a Florida Southern graduate, the Hollis Fellows in Education Program invests in students who plan to lead classrooms of their own, helping them prepare to make a lasting difference in Florida schools.

As a Hollis Fellow, you'll join a select group of future teachers, receive renewable scholarship support, and train in a program built around real classroom experience from your very first year.

 

Scholarship Criteria

The Hollis Fellows Scholarship is awarded to two first-year students each year and is renewable annually for students who maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 and continue as Education majors.

To be eligible, candidates must:

• Earn a minimum 22 ACT (23 Reading subsection) or 1120 SAT (560 Evidence-Based Reading and Writing subsection)
• Have a minimum cumulative high school GPA of 3.0
• Major in Education at Florida Southern
• Commit to teaching for three years in the Florida public school system after graduating

Finalists are invited to interview virtually with our faculty and staff.
