The Broward League of Cities is offering Broward County high school seniors an opportunity to pursue higher education through the Scholarship for Government Studies program.
The scholarship program is an initiative of the Broward League of Cities, a non-partisan, non-profit organization established in 1957. Its goal is to raise awareness and resolve issues affecting Broward County’s 31 cities and municipalities.
To be eligible for the scholarship, applicants must be 2024 graduating seniors in a Broward County high school and permanent residents of Broward County.
They must also pursue a major in public administration, political science, or a government-related field at any accredited college, university, or trade school in the United States. The applicants’ minimum cumulative unweighted grade point average must be 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale), verified by a school transcript.
The Broward League of Cities has supported Broward County students in pursuing higher education for more than ten years through its Scholarship for Government Studies program. The program has awarded more than $50,000 to exemplary students in cities across Broward County who have showcased strong leadership, communication, and judgment skills throughout their high school careers.
Several companies and organizations donated to this year’s scholarship fund, including the Florida League of Cities, Big Dog Construction, Motorola Solutions, and the City of North Lauderdale, among others.
The deadline for scholarship applications is Friday, March 15, 2024. To learn more about the Broward League of Cities Scholarship for Government Studies and apply, visit BLOCScholarship.
