Florida’s future is only as bright as theirs.
With an education, Florida students can reach for the stars. It’s why we’ve
contributed more than $28 billion to education over the past 27 years.
That’s more than a billion dollars to education every year. We don’t just
believe in the future of our state. We’re investing in it.
