In 2024, the Education Foundation and their donors awarded 500 scholarships totaling over $1,100,000.
The Education Foundation has partnered with Valencia College and the School District of Osceola County on the Got College? initiative to increase the college-going rate for Osceola County graduating high school seniors. This partnership has increased that rate in Osceola County by more than 36% since 2010!
This initiative approached the hurdles with an actionable plan: dispatching college student ambassadors to local public schools; bringing all Osceola School District students to Valencia’s Osceola Campus for tours sponsored by the Celebration Foundation; and requesting that the University of Central Florida offer more majors at its regional campus at Valencia Osceola.
Outside of the Education Foundation's Scholarship Program, there are other organizations that support students in pursuing their post secondary dream. Please check out the links below for more information on additional financial aid resources.
