Each year Florida school districts send their top scholars to Orlando to be recognized for their accomplishments in STEM academic areas. These 110 scholars are eleventh graders who start their time at the event with a higher ed recruitment fair. The fair's main goal is to connect admissions representatives from Florida's universities and colleges with these highly sought after students before college applications are due. - List available after April 5
Please take a few minutes to review the results of the pre-event survey the scholars were asked to complete. Their responses will help you gain an idea of what scholars are looking for in their higher ed experience. Your school may be a perfect fit. - Survey report available after April 5
