MIAMI (Sept. 19, 2019) - FIU and the Florida Lottery have continued a highly successful partnership, aligning one of the largest universities in the country to one of Florida education's greatest contributors. Since 1988, the Florida Lottery has provided more than $35 Billion dollars to education all throughout Florida. The Florida Lottery's sole mission is to maximize revenues for the enhancement of public education in Florida.
As part of the partnership, FIU and Florida Lottery recognizes the impact of how the present influence we provide our students today will reflect on their futures. The Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program was created to establish a lottery-funded scholarship program to reward any Florida high school graduate who merits recognition of high academic achievement.
