The Florida Supervisors of Elections (FSE) plans to award $1,200 scholarships to four qualified college junior and senior students in 2023. Eligible students have until 5 p.m. on Friday, March 10 to submit their applications.
According to the FSE scholarship guidelines, applicants must be a U.S. citizen, a registered Florida voter, and a Florida resident for at least the two years preceding the academic year for which they’ll receive the scholarship. Awardees must either study political science, public administration, business administration, or journalism/mass communication.

The application requires two current letters of recommendation and financial information. Applicants also must provide a resume of high school and/or college activities.
“Supervisors of Elections in Florida recognize the importance of encouraging young people to embark on careers in public service, and this scholarship is intended to help support students on that journey,” said Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections Julie Marcus.
