MIAMI (Oct. 2, 2018) – Florida International University (FIU) and the Florida Lottery announced a partnership today, aligning one of the largest universities in the country to one of Florida's greatest education contributors. The Florida Lottery's sole mission is to maximize revenues for the enhancement of public education in Florida. Since 1988, the Florida Lottery has generated more than $33 billion dollars for students and schools in the sunshine state.
The Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program was created to reward Florida high school graduates who merit recognition of high academic achievement, like Eddie Chance III, an FIU Athletics Facilities Manager who's studying Sport Management.
