Private School Grants In Florida

So you live in the Sunshine State – and would like to get some nice, cushy college grants to pay for school? Wonderful – you’ve come to the right place. We love Florida!

First of all, make sure you have all your information in your heard or by your side such as your GPA, the county you live in, financial need, intended degree or career you plan to pursue, minority status, etc – as these will help you quickly identify which grants and scholarships you are eligible for. You don’t want to waste time do you?

Career Journalism Scholarships: Want to be a journalist? How does $2500 per year sound to help you pay for that degree? Sounds great to me. Its offered by the St. Petersburg Times Fund and is open to college-bound students who reside in the following counties: Pinellas, Hillsborough, Pasco, Hernando, Citrus and Manatee. For application and further information please click here: Career Journalism Scholarship

Barnes Scholarship: This is a great scholarship – if you’ve faced significant obstacles in your life, and have financial need and yet have managed to do a great job at school – this is one scholarship you don’t want to miss. Its worth a cool $15,000 a year. (Nope – that’s not a typo!). Again this grant is for residents of the following counties: Citrus, Hernando, Pasco, Pinellas, Hillsborough, Manatee. You can apply for it here: Barnes Scholarship

There are a number of grants available from the Florida Department of Education, Office of Student Financial Assistance. Did you know that you can apply online? As of this posting there are 16 grants available, which include grants for teachers, work experience grants, and more.

If you are going to be attending a private Florida college or university, the Access to Better Learning and Education Grant Program (ABLE) is ideal for you. Although the award amount is just under $1,000 – I believe its still worth it – every little bit counts.
