| Pilot Pathway to Economic Stability Grant |
A new “Path” forward …..

and also recognizing that the Florida State College certificate programs facilitate this process;
We envisioned a scholarship program to support these worthy Florida women.

The “Pathway Grant” became a reality through a pilot program offered in conjunction with Palm Beach State College Foundation. During the Fall term of 2024, three scholarships totaling $15,000 were made to women pursuing two-term certificates in medical related fields. Each recipient received a total of $5,000; i.e., $2,500 per term.
