Dual 2 Degree (For high school Dual Enrollment students only)

The Dual 2 Degree Scholarship is a financial aid opportunity tailored specifically for high school students engaged in dual enrollment programs at Palm Beach State College (PBSC).

Funded by the college itself, this initiative reflects PBSC's commitment to fostering educational access and supporting the next generation of scholars.

Purpose and Prestige

By enabling students to experience college-level coursework early, the scholarship promotes a smoother transition into higher education, ultimately fostering a well-prepared and knowledgeable workforce.

Suitability and Study Abroad Plans

The Dual 2 Degree Scholarship is particularly suitable for ambitious high school students who demonstrate a strong commitment to their education and a desire to achieve their long-term academic goals.
