Education and success go hand-in-hand. But what if a deserving student is denied the opportunity?
How can we measure what is lost? How many talented and caring teachers, scientists, artists, or entrepreneurs have been denied the chance to reach their full potential? They're resigned to a life time of what might have been.
The Florida State Elks Association is committed to helping deserving students receive the necessary education and training to start a successful career. Preparing a quality workforce is essential in generating economic growth and improving the quality of life for our Florida communities.
