FIU is awarding 10 undergraduate scholarships worth $1,000 each this fall, funded entirely through FIU license plate sales. The awards mark Florida's 10th straight year as the nation's top-ranked state for higher education, according to U.S. News & World Report. All 12 State University System (SUS) schools are joining the one-time statewide effort, called Florida 10 for 10. Every FIU plate sold sends a $25 annual fee back to the university for academic programs and scholarships. Your submission answers two questions:Why did you choose to pursue higher education in Florida?
