“Receiving the Bright Futures Scholarship allowed me the opportunity to graduate debt free from college. I was then able to choose the road I wanted to take in life.
That road led to a career of service.
It made such a difference in my life that I’ve teamed with Buwundo Beads & Crafts in Uganda to help women from Buwundo Village afford an education for their young ones, among other things.”
– Amaris Padgett, Pensacola native and graduate of Florida A&M University, Class of 2004
