Not just a scholarship

an Education for Life!

Each scholarship house is made up of 9-29 students (depending on house capacity) from diverse backgrounds. While living in the house, they are required to live cooperatively by cooking, cleaning and managing the household budget.

The SSF Mission and its Benefits

Southern Scholarship Foundations mission has remained the same since its founding 57 years agoto help deserving young people, who lack financial resources, but demonstrate excellent academic merit and good character, attend institutions of higher education. SSF provides a unique, rent-free scholarship housing program designed to not only ensure that bright students who have a serious financial need are able to attend Florida universities, but it is designed to provide these students with the support they need to succeed in school and intangible benefits to help them succeed in life. This Education for Life philosophy is what sets SSF apart from other scholarship programs and what truly helps break the cycle of poverty. 322 Stadium Drive, Tallahassee, FL 32304 Ph (850) 222-3833 Fax (850) 222-6750 www.southernscholarship.org admissions@southernscholarship.org
