On June 18, 2022, 10 students were surprised with big checks, hats and university swag inside of the Museum of Discovery and Science in Fort Lauderdale.

These 10 students received a total of two hundred thousand dollars to help support their undergraduate studies. Each received this scholarship for their involvement in the Southeastern Consortium for Minorities in Engineering, also known as SECME (SECK-mee).

This scholarship program is part of FLPs commitment to stem education and supporting our next generation of leaders, thinkers and innovators.
