The Sunshine State Scholars program is a collaboration among the Florida Department of Education, the Florida Education Foundation and the State University System of Florida. Each school district throughout the state selects its top 11th grade students in science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics based on established criteria. The students and their parents come together to be recognized for their achievements. They also have opportunities to meet with representatives from Florida’s colleges and universities and learn about STEAM-related study and internship programs.

Congratulations, Emma!
