The Florida Farmworker Student Scholarship is a state need-and-merit award for farmworkers and their children. The latest official fact sheet located for this review, for 2025–26, lists a maximum of 50 recipients. For a student at a public postsecondary institution, the award is calculated toward eligible tuition and specified fees; it is not a general scholarship for every college expense. Do not assume that the 2026–27 application is still open or that the number or amount of awards will be unchanged.
Published initial criteria include Florida residency, at least a 3.5 weighted high-school GPA in diploma-credit courses, 30 service hours, at least 90% attendance, and no disciplinary action in the school record. The applicant must be a farmworker or child of one under Florida’s statutory definition, which considers the type of agricultural work, income during the previous 12 months, and certain retirement situations involving age, illness, or disability. The office verifies documentation; a family connection alone is not enough.
Read the OSFA fact sheet together with the application portal: the guide asks students to identify whether they or a parent meets the farmworker definition and to complete the requested information by the cycle’s deadline. The page reviewed did not confirm a 2026–27 deadline for this program, so this guide does not carry forward April dates from earlier cycles as current. Before paying a deposit, check the portal and campus aid office about school eligibility, renewal, and the balance left after other aid.
Before accepting aid, confirm in writing who decides eligibility, which costs are covered, how renewal works, and which deadline applies to your cohort. Compare the award with the net cost at your school.
Read the aid-program profile and the FAFSA guide; your institution’s aid office can verify your individual case.
