To be in the Sarasota program, children must 
• Be between the 6th and 9th grades and be selected by a committee of teachers and community leaders. 
• Sign a contract agreeing to stay drug- and crime-free. 
• Maintain satisfactory grades. 
• Exhibit good behavior in schools. 
• Have a financial need and be determined to succeed. 

24% of Florida's children are eligible for Take Stock in Children's program because their family income is below the federal poverty level. Students are selected by committees comprised of educators, civic leaders, and business sponsors and must sign a contract agreeing to follow the guidelines of the program. Our students live in counties throughout the State of Florida. 

Each child selected receives a four-year college tuition or vocational scholarship purchased by the Florida Prepaid Tuition Program. Students receive their scholarship if they have fulfilled the terms of the contract and when they have graduated from high school.
