The Florida Bankers Educational Foundation (FBEF) has financial assistance available to bankers seeking degrees from fifty-five FBEF participating universities in Florida. FBEF Scholarship amounts are based on the semesters the student has remaining until graduation and may be prorated. Applicants must be currently working at a FDIC-insured bank in Florida or a state or federally chartered trust company in Florida and have been employed for at least one year in the Florida banking industry prior to application. Please note that employment with a credit union or brokerage/investment firm does not meet this requirement. Application deadlines are November 1st, March 1st, or June 1st. The complete list of the participating universities and colleges are available on the scholarship's website. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact Letty Newton, Director of FBEF for more information.
