(Black PR Wire) FPL is committed to supporting our communities to help make them better places to live, work and raise a family. One way we do this is by supporting education programs that enrich students’ experiences, as it relates to science and math programs, and which many times help break down barriers to opportunity. This new scholarship will help further our state’s future leaders as they pursue a higher education

As part of our commitment to STEM education, FPL will award 10 graduating high school seniors who have at least one year of experience in SECME with a scholarship up to $20,000.
