TALLAHASSEE, FL – April 13, 2012 – The Florida Association of Postsecondary Schools and Colleges (FAPSC) has extended its scholarship deadline to May 4 for higher education assistance totaling more than $1 million.

“We wanted to give any additional applicants time to complete the process for the scholarships, but really need anyone interested to go ahead and submit their information,” said Wanda Minick, FAPSC deputy director.

Interested applicants should visit www.FAPSC.org or www.FLCareers.org to complete the online application, consult a list of participating institutions to contact directly, or email scholarship@FAPSC.org or download and mail the information.

Submitted via computer or postmarked by May 4, any interested graduating high school seniors and G.E.D. recipients need to complete applications, essays and transcripts.

“These scholarships, which total more than $1 million and are made available from the generosity of member institutions, need good matches so we could use more applicants for the scholarship selection process,” Minick added.

Ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 to full tuition, the scholarships can be used for programs from short-term diplomas to four-year college degrees in a variety of fields of study including: computer information technology, cosmetology, criminal justice, culinary arts and healthcare.
