The Florida Department of Education recently recognized academic excellence at the 28th annual Sunshine State Scholars conference held last month in Orlando, spotlighting the state’s outstanding 11th-grade students in the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Among the honorees was Wellington High School junior Victoria Sullivan, who also received a one-year scholarship to a Florida university.
With 112 student-scholars and their families in attendance, the two-day event, co-hosted by the Florida Department of Education and the Florida Education Foundation, celebrated the remarkable achievements of these young scholars. Notably, 43 students were awarded one-year scholarships provided by State Farm and the Florida Prepaid College Foundation.
