Statewide Supervisors of Elections Association
Offering Three College Scholarships in 2020
The Florida Supervisors of Elections (FSE), comprised of the State of Florida’s county supervisors, will award $1,200 scholarships to three (3) qualified students in 2020.
College students majoring in the following: political science, public administration, business administration, journalism or mass communications; enrolled as a junior or senior at an accredited Florida college or university; and registered to vote are eligible to apply.
“This is a great opportunity for eligible college students and I hope that we receive many applications,” said Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections Deborah Clark.
FSE scholarships are awarded in memory of Dorothy Walker Ruggles, who served as Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections from 1988 until her death in 2000, Joe Oldmixon, former Escambia County supervisor, and Jimmy Whitehouse, former Highlands County supervisor.

Scholarship applications must be received by 5:00 p.m., Friday, February 28, 2020, and should be submitted in the county in which the student is registered to vote. Pinellas County students should return completed applications to any of the three Supervisor of Elections offices: 315 Court St., Room 117, Clearwater; 13001 Starkey Rd., Largo; or 501 1st Ave. N., St. Petersburg.
