Our Scholarship Program Has Awarded $79,000 To Local Students
16 Area Schools Will Each Receive a $1,000 Scholarship in 2023
We at Great Southeast Flooring America are committed to the community that has supported our business over the years. Since 2017, the Flooring America Scholarship Program has helped deserving college-bound seniors at Brevard County schools. We expanded the program in 2020 to include 16 area high schools and $16,000 in scholarship funds. It’s both an investment in our community’s future and a way of saying “thank you.”
Since setting up the program, we’ve met many outstanding young people who have received these awards, which total $79,000 to date. We look forward to meeting and helping many more.
Starting each February, students wishing to apply for a scholarship can apply online using the link below or speak with their Guidance Counselor.
