Community Health Impact Scholarship 2026

At Enlightened Florida, we believe healthier communities begin with passionate, purpose-driven individuals. The Community Health Impact Scholarship was created to support students who are committed to improving health and wellness and are ready to make a difference.

This scholarship is more than financial support. It is an investment in future leaders who will shape the health of our communities for years to come.

Stay Tuned! The Grant winner will be announced by May 15th!
