We're partnering with Hazel Health this school year to provide students with an option for high-quality healthcare at no cost to their families. Students can fall behind just by missing 1-2 school days per month.

To help get students feeling better and back to class faster, we're providing tele-health visits with medical providers through this Hazel Health program. Every student in our school has access to these providers that specialize in pediatric care.

The Florida Alpha Chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon is awarding $10,000+ in scholarships to qualified incoming freshman males enrolled as full-time students at the University of Florida during Fall 2024.

The Balanced Man Scholarship is open throughout the summer and is targeted toward incoming male freshmen. We aim to reward students who have excelled in academics, leadership, health, and well-being. SigEp believes that acknowledging students who demonstrate balance promotes this important ideal.

Please see the attached hyperlink where the scholarship can be found. Applicants are encouraged to apply as soon as possible to begin the interview process. It is not required for applicants to join the chapter in order to receive the scholarship. The scholarship closes on August 5th.

Thank you for your time and help in sharing this scholarship with the upcoming balanced men of the University of Florida.

Please share the application with any seniors attending the University of Florida for the Summer B 2024, Fall 2024, or Spring 2025 semesters.

We will award the scholarships in-person at our Awards Banquet on Thursday, June 13th. Each scholarship recipient’s family, guidance counselor, and principal are invited to the dinner. If selected as a recipient, attendance is mandatory to receive the scholarship.

If you or your students have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Go Gators!
