MADISON, FL (July 6, 2021) - The Helios Education Foundation, in partnership with

System Institution, including North Florida College in Madison. The NFC Foundation
will be awarding a limited number of $750 Now. Not Tomorrow. Scholarships to recent

Each scholarship recipient will receive a Welcome Package with gifts including NFC swag, a $25 Gas Card and a $25 Sentinel Shop Gift Certificate.
In assessing the potential impact of the scholarship, Florida College System Chancellor Kathy Hebda said, “This scholarship helps students start right now in AA and AS degree-seeking pathways that are uniquely available in our Florida College System. Florida’s 2+2 system of matriculation from a state college to a state university is still the envy of the nation. We are excited to partner with Helios Education Foundation to help high school seniors realize that their path to success is close to home. I encourage our seniors and graduates from the class of 2020 who have not yet started college to contact their local college’s financial aid office and take that first step today!”
