The Florida Tech Distinguished Scholar Award is the most prestigious undergraduate merit scholarship offered by the Florida Institute of Technology (FIT), specifically targeting high-achieving Florida residents who demonstrate excellence in their high school academic record. This award is structured as a comprehensive financial package that covers the student’s full tuition plus mandatory facilities and activities fees, effectively eliminating the core institutional cost of attendance for the recipient.
