Friends of 440 Scholarship Fund, Inc.

The Friends of 440 Scholarship Fund is designed to aid dependents or descendants of workers who were injured or killed in the course and scope of their employment and who received benefits under the Florida Workers' Compensation Law. In addition, dependents of individuals who primarily work in the operation and/or administration of this same law are eligible to receive scholarships. Scholarships are intended to assist students who meet this criteria and lack the economic ability to continue education beyond high school or to further their college education. The scholarship supports high school seniors and current college students pursuing undergraduate studies. High school seniors must have a minimum 2.7 GPA to apply, while college applicants must have a 3.0 GPA. All scholarship recipients must maintain a cumulative 3.0 GPA and complete at least 12 credit hours per semester to remain eligible for continued funding. The scholarship is not available for graduate studies, and applicants must not be related directly or indirectly to any member of the Board of Directors.
