Support Your Student’s Future
Explore tools, guidance, and resources to help your child plan for life after high school. From scholarships and financial aid to college, career & technical education school, and career opportunities, these resources make it easier to guide your student toward success.
FAFSA: Unlock Financial Aid for Your Student
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the key to funding your child’s college, career & technical education school, or career training. Completing it gives access to:
Federal programs such as Pell Grants and work-study
State scholarships like Bright Futures and the Florida Student Assistance Grant
Local scholarships and resources from colleges in our region
Thousands of dollars in aid go unclaimed each year because families don’t complete the FAFSA. Ensure your student gets every dollar available to support their post-high school plans.
College & Career Pathways
Help your student explore and plan their future with resources that:
Show career options based on their strengths and interests
Connect them with local employers for experience and networking
Identify training programs that lead to in-demand jobs in the Tallahassee region
Give your child the guidance and tools to succeed after high school.
Scholarships and Funding for Your Student
Paying for college, career & technical education school, or certification programs can feel overwhelming, but scholarships make it easier. Local, state, and national awards can reduce tuition, cover books and supplies, and ease the financial burden on your family.
We guide families to:
Identify scholarships that fit their child’s goals and strengths
Navigate eligibility requirements and requirements
Submit applications confidently
Scholarships and tuition assistance help ensure students can achieve their post-high school goals without unnecessary financial stress.
