Young Floridian Scholarship
Qualifications
- Achievement: Accomplishments, honors, and recognition represent evidence of achievement, both in school and community. The direction of purpose (as applied to the student’s category), realization of goals and persistence are important.
- Leadership: Initiative in constructive programs, poise in facing difficult problems and courage in meeting responsibilities are hallmarks of a good leader. Elected positions can demonstrate leadership. How this leadership is used is the prime factor for consideration.
- Character: The character of the individual is measured by his own sense of good judgment as reflected in relationships with others as well as service to school or community. Character may also be revealed by an individual’s ability to overcome physical or environmental handicaps.

These specific guidelines plus the general measurements of achievement, leadership, and character should form the basis for selection of nominees.
