Student Ambassador Scholarship

Summer 2025

Student Ambassadors work with the Office of Recruitment to serve as marketing & recruiting representatives for The College of the Florida Keys. The Ambassadors promote The College of the Florida Keys and its programs and services. An Ambassador must exhibit a complete understanding of The College of the Florida Keys, the campus, the programs and the vision. The position of an Ambassador is one of high esteem and a source of self-enrichment, which will prove beneficial in future endeavors. Student Ambassadors must participate in a minimum of 5 hours of activities per week during the hours of 9:00am – 2:00pm. Work assignments may include campus tours, welcoming new students, assisting with orientation and registration, and other campus activities.

Eligible students must have a complete 2024-25 FAFSA and a GPA of 3.0 or higher. Awards range from $1000 for part-time (6-11 credits in summer) to $1,200 for full-time (12+ credits in fall & spring) students. Scholarship monies can be used toward tuition and fees at The College of the Florida Keys for the upcoming semester.
