I have received 100% of my tuition paid for and it has completely changed my
life! Hi, my name is Lily Osborne. I am a senior at the University of South
Florida, and I am majoring in Health Science with concentrations in Biological
and Behavioral Science. Once I graduate with my undergrade degree, I plan on
attending school to become either a physician of a physician assistant. I
thankfully was able to get the Bright Futures academic scholarship, and because
of that I have received 100% of my tuition paid for! I am one of the few people
that I know that is going to be able to get my undergrad degree and have zero
student dept. And that is such a huge thing for me to be able to say. And it
makes me feel so good about myself and about my future goals!

Hi! My name is Jennifer Hollander, and I’m a first-year law student at Stetson
University College of Law. I graduated from the University of Florida in
December of 2019, where I majored in International Studies and I minored in
Spanish. Because of Bright Futures, I was able to complete my undergraduate
education debt-free. I’m so grateful for Bright Futures and the Florida Lottery
because this allowed me to focus on my higher education goals and not have to
worry so much about finances during my undergraduate education. I would like to
thank the Florida Lottery and Bright Futures for the assistance they provided to
me and students across the state in making higher education goals possible. I
look forward to being able to give back to the community when I become an
attorney someday! Thank you!

Hey there! My name is Cecil Robinson and I was a former recipient of the Bright
Futures Scholarship. While attending the University of West Florida through 1028
through 2019 working to receive my Masters Degree in Strategic Communication and
Leadership, I was awarded the Bright Futures Scholarship which allowed me to not
only receive my degree with zero student loan, but it also allowed and took off
an extreme burden both financially and mentally from my family. Through this
magnificent opportunity, I was not only able to engage in multiple on campus
leadership opportunities, I was also able to contribute and focus my time on
internships, fellowships and overall just really ensuring that my future career
was going to be solidified, while being the best individual that I could be.
