Are you a Florida banker working to complete your college degree?
Let the FBEF help you advance your career through education!
|
Florida Bankers Educational Foundation has a scholarship program that awards funds each year to help Florida bankers advance their career through education. Scholarships are available to qualified candidates meeting all FBEF Program Requirements, to help students pursuing a career in Florida banking while working to complete their college degree. A limited number of scholarships will be awarded to the top applicants annually.
FBEF Scholarship amounts are based on the semesters the student has remaining until graduation and may be pro-rated. Scholarship amounts range from $1,000 to $5,000, depending on the applicant’s current education level: College Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior, or Graduate Student. If awarded, funds will be sent directly to an applicant’s college and may only be used for qualified educational expenses, which is defined by the IRS as tuition and required fees, or books, supplies or equipment that are required for students to complete a class. Grades must be sent to FBEF staff each semester as proof of enrollment to verify continued eligibility for the FBEF program. Applicants must be currently working at a FDIC-insured bank in Florida or a state or federally chartered trust company in Florida and have been employed for at least one year in the Florida banking industry prior to application. Please note that employment with a credit union or brokerage/investment firm does not meet this requirement. Applicants must attend a FBEF Participating College or University and have a 2.5 GPA or higher. |
