Kiley Johnson Scholarship for Entrepreneurial Excellence

Fall 2025

The Kiley Johnson Scholarship for Entrepreneurial Excellence was established to support deserving students who demonstrate a strong interest in entrepreneurial pursuits with their education at The College of the Florida Keys. To qualify, students must be Florida residents seeking an Associate’s or Bachelor’s Degree at CFK with a minimum GPA of 2.5. Eligible students must submit a complete 2025-26 FAFSA and meet standards of satisfactory academic progress.

The scholarship amounts to full payment of the in-state portion of tuition charges for the completion of an Associate’s or Bachelor’s Degree and covers a set portion of tuition for up to 60 credit hours. Preference will be given to full-time students satisfying 12 or more credits per term and attending CFK’s Upper Keys Center. Funds for this scholarship were made available through the generous donations of family and friends in memory of Kiley Johnson.

Scholarship Recipient must:
1. Confirm registration in courses at CFK in the term(s) in which the scholarship is to be used.
