HOW WE HELP

Scholarships

For many people, cost is the biggest barrier to pursuing an education beyond high school. But, we have good news! Grants, work-study, and scholarships are available to help you. At LEAP, we encourage students to look into all options to pay for college before considering a loan to keep long-term debt low.

There are endless scholarship opportunities available, if you know where to look. Below, we’ve rounded up local resources, along with some of the largest national scholarship search tools, to help you find the money you need for college.

Many of LEAP’s local partners offer scholarships that are focused on Tampa Bay students going to school.

More than 50% of Florida college students qualify for Pell grants, which is free money to pay for college.

Work-Study: Qualifying for work-study gives you an opportunity to work part-time while going to school and helps you pay for your schooling.

Florida State Aid: The State of Florida offers financial assistance to students through grants, like a grant for students whose parents didn’t go to college. See all state of FL financial aid opportunities including the Bright Futures Scholarship Program.

It is important to remember, that in order to be qualified for Florida State Aid, you still need to complete both the federal FAFSA form AND the Florida applications.
