For 2014 and 2015 the Pensacola Interstate Fair Inc. has given out around $30,000 towards educational grants. From that $30,000 it will be spilt into $1,000 for 30 students towards any college they choose to attend. Not only is a grand a welcoming gesture but that can easily pay for numerous school books and a part of the tuition that will be needed. Since Pensacola has been around since 1983, a million dollars has been given and well over that towards students for educational commitment. This grant is directed towards their local community of students that need a helping hand. From different high schools in the area, we will give you a list that is applied towards this grant.

Since this grant is provided every year, giving 30 students a well-adjusted start to their college years, which given the time frame has helped nearly a 1,000 students achieve their dream. Of course conditions apply such as, this is a one-time only and you must be enrolled by the fall to use this grant. To know if you’ve been rewarded look towards the third week of April for a notification that you have received the $1,000 this will be sent to the finical aid of your choice.
Think of the possibility if every corporation of institute could provide such an idea. Giving a select amount of funds to push towards educational value and giving a student not only a chance but the utmost possibility that this has become a reality. Not only has this program shown a tremendous effort but it surely hasn’t gone unnoticed.
