CTE Students have multiple scholarship and financial aid opportunities that are exclusively for them!
Career and Technical Education (CTE) students may qualify for Florida Bright Futures Vocational Scholars (GSV) or CAPE Scholars (GSC) awards to help with postsecondary education expenses. These awards are based on a student enrolling in a CTE or certificate program.
To qualify, Florida high school students must meet eligibility requirements that include high school academic achievement, community service and/or work hours, and standardized assessments.
CTE Students are a part of that talent pipeline that becomes the next generation of the region’s workforce!
Earn Up supports high school student career development, from work-based certificates and college to internships and apprenticeships.
Earn Up, powered by JAXUSA Partnership, is committed to growing a robust talent ecosystem in Northeast Florida by aligning to the needs of the Jacksonville business community with a talented and engaged workforce through the awareness and education on Career Pathways.
CTE Students can accelerate their college paths thanks to program partners like Embry Riddle Aeronautical University and Florida State College at Jacksonville.
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) and Florida State College at Jacksonville (FSCJ) offer CTE dual enrollment courses for DCPS students. There is no cost for tuition and instructional materials for students who enroll and participate.
