We look for young adults who are involved in the community, have worked, and still maintain a high GPA. Family, friends, other students, peers and co-workers are not eligible to be used as references. Motivation — With the community based scholarship program we facilitate, the most successful residents are highly motivated to contribute to the cooperative-living atmosphere of Southern Scholarship Foundation. This is demonstrated through the awards and activities list submitted by all applicants. Acceptance to University — We must have a copy of the official acceptance letter from FSU, UF, FAMU, FGCU, TCC or SFCC.
