Who can apply for Greenacres, Florida’s 2027 educational scholarships?

Greenacres offers twelve $1,500 scholarships for tuition and books; the 2027 deadline is March 1. The application requires financial need, city residency, and in-person delivery of a sealed transcript.

Greenacres, Florida, has opened its 2027 educational call with twelve $1,500 awards for tuition and books in academic, technical, or vocational study. The City lists categories connected with athletics, community service, STEM, and trades. It does not publish separate amounts by category: the stated value is $1,500 per award, with selection based on municipal review.

Applicants must live within City limits, be U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents, demonstrate financial need, and be high-school seniors or graduates, GED recipients, or current college students. Previous awardees may reapply, although Greenacres gives first consideration to first-time applicants and seniors. A county address or Greenacres ZIP code alone does not prove residence within the City.

The deadline is March 1, 2027 at 5 p.m. The online form asks for a 500–750-word personal letter about background, family circumstances, education and career goals, and a plan to reach them. It also requests a recommendation, certified sealed transcript, academic information, activities, community service, other aid, and identity records. The City says the academic record must be brought in person to the Community Center to complete the packet.

Handle financial information carefully. The form requests family income and tax documents to assess need, plus parent or guardian information. The portal instructs applicants to redact the Social Security number from the tax document before attaching it. Use the municipal link, verify current instructions, and do not send identifiers to third parties. The award is limited to tuition and books, and the City verifies educational use.

This is not a FAFSA scholarship. Greenacres sets its own residency, immigration-status, and need rules; FAFSA or other aid does not automatically create eligibility for the local award. Disclose support requested by the form and ask your college how it would post the City award to your student account. If you also qualify for Pell Grant, Bright Futures, or other aid, do not assume it becomes cash or pays housing and transport.

Questions go to Community & Recreation Services and the City’s education committee. The file is associated with Greenacres Community Center, 501 Swain Boulevard; published phones are 561-642-2180 and 561-642-2195. The 2027 scholarship profile summarises eligibility and allowed uses; the office profile explains what to confirm when delivering the transcript.
