LEE COUNTY, Fla. — The Foundation for Lee County Public Schools and Florida Southwestern College (FSW) surprised two students with a $10,000 Scholarship to FSW.
Mariner and Riverdale High had the highest FAFSA completion rate this past school year, which allows them to nominate students for this prestigious scholarship.
The two scholarship recipients were chosen by a selection committee made up of principals, counselors, and staff of the FLCPS. Both students will be attending FSW in the fall.
