Ways To Give
Take Stock in Children, the flagship program of the Monroe County Education Foundation, provides Florida Prepaid college scholarships upon high school graduation to qualified 6th-10th grade Monroe County students residing in low-income households.

We could not exist without our donors. A donation of $20,329 – together with the 100% State match – will pay all tuition and local fees for 4 college years, and dormitory housing for 2 years for one Monroe County student and forever changing their lives.
