Your gift helps make an exceptional education accessible to talented students who might otherwise be unable to attend. By investing in their potential, you empower them to pursue their passions, achieve their goals, and give back to the world in meaningful ways. Scholarships are more than financial aid; they're a vote of confidence, a spark of hope, and a powerful step toward a brighter future.
Florida Southern invests more than sixty-six million dollars each year to make an FSC education attainable.
Donor generosity added fifteen million dollars in scholarship support in a single year.
Nearly every Moc benefits from scholarship support, opening the door to their education.
Each year, forty-eight students receive a full-ride scholarship to pursue their goals at Florida Southern.
A scholarship is more than financial aid; it's a vote of confidence that follows a student through every year at Florida Southern. Hear directly from the Mocs whose paths were shaped by donor generosity, and the difference it continues to make.
"I was looking for a college that combines engaging experiences with academic reward. My classes aren't big lectures — they're small enough that professors know you, and that's helped me connect with faculty and peers in a way that's made a difference academically and socially."
"Florida Southern makes you a doer, not just a thinker. I spent this past summer in Washington, D.C., interning at the Library of Congress — and that's just one of the opportunities here. Besides the financial assistance, the Christoverson Scholarship has created a lot of great connections for me."
"Without the scholarship, I would not have been able to afford college and take advantage of all that Florida Southern has to offer. I owe my position as an MFA acting student to the training I had in FSC's theatre studies. The Jenkins Scholarship has been an incredible gift."
An endowed gift is one of the most powerful ways to support Florida Southern College,
today and for generations to come. An endowment is a permanent fund: the principal
is invested, and the earnings are used each year to support a specific purpose, such
as scholarships, academic programs, faculty development, or campus initiatives. When
you establish or contribute to an endowed fund, you invest in the future of our students,
faculty, and programs while creating a lasting legacy that reflects your values and
benefits Florida Southern in perpetuity.
Endowed gifts provide a reliable source of funding that helps us:
Endowed scholarships are funded by individuals, families, foundations, or other organizations through a minimum gift of $50,000. An endowed scholarship can be created for a specific purpose and named to honor or memorialize an individual, family, or organization.
The Hollingsworth Scholarship, FSC's premier award, endowed by Bernie Little and Mary Jane Hunt. This highly competitive, full-ride scholarship recognizes exceptional academic achievement, leadership, and commitment to service.
Endowed by the family of the founder of Publix, the George W. Jenkins Scholarship provides five academically talented students the opportunity to study at Florida Southern College free of economic encumbrances.
