The program provides nearly $50,000 in scholarships to five Florida high school seniors, covering two full years of tuition at any Florida university, college, or trade school.

“It’s our privilege to champion different causes that make our communities stronger,” said Eddie Farah, Founding Partner of Farah & Farah. “The Empowering Greatness Scholarship Program creates strength within our future leaders, equipping them with the most important tool of all: education.”

In partnership with the Florida Prepaid College Foundation and Goodwill Industries of North Florida, the law firm will cover full tuition, registration fees, and local fees for 60 lower-division semester credit hours for Florida students across any Florida university, college, or trade school.

Eligible applicants for the Empowering Greatness Scholarship are students who attend a public or charter school in Florida, exhibit outstanding academic performance and active community involvement, and submit an essay or video. The application period runs now through Feb. 20.

Students can apply for the Empowering Greatness Scholarship through an online portal. The top 10% of applicants will undergo review and final selections by a judging panel of leaders within their communities and dedicated fields.
