Twenty-Nine Central Florida College Students Named to the 2017 All-Florida Academic Team

Tallahassee, Fla., March 31, 2017 – Today, the Florida Department of Education announced that 29 Central Florida college students from the Florida College System have been named to the 2017 All-Florida Academic Team. Statewide, 127 students are being honored for their outstanding academic achievement, leadership and service to their communities.   

“I am pleased to congratulate each of these students on receiving this tremendous honor and to thank them for the dedication they have shown to their schools and communities,” said Commissioner of Education Pam Stewart. “Florida College System institutions do an excellent job providing students with educational opportunities that lead to life-long success, and this accomplishment highlights that hard work.”

Earning a spot on the All-Florida Academic Team affords students additional scholarship opportunities at Florida universities. Additionally, these students are considered for scholarships sponsored by the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation, ranging in value from $1,000 - $5,000, which students can use to continue their education anywhere in the nation.

“I’m excited to congratulate this group of outstanding scholars who have excelled in their studies and earned a place on the 2017 All-Florida Academic Team,” said Division of Florida Colleges Chancellor Madeline Pumariega. “This is a prestigious honor, and I look forward to recognizing all of these students at the awards ceremony.”
