One day the lunch boxes, tiny shoes, and toy-filled floors will be gone. 🥹

The good ol’ days don’t always feel big while you’re in them, but sometimes they’re hiding in the little moments. Soak them up. 💙

Dorm costs aren’t getting any cheaper. 😅
One thing parents always say? Don’t overlook room & board when planning for college.

That’s exactly why the Dormitory 529 Plan exists, to help families plan ahead for eligible housing costs, too.

Make sure you lock in the future cost of housing for less before prices rise!

They thought they were receiving 2-year scholarships.

Then everything changed.

At the Take Stock in Children Orange County graduation, 120 students were surprised with 4-year Florida Prepaid College Scholarships — and the reactions said it all.

Tears. Shock. Joy. Possibility.

This moment didn't happen overnight. Take Stock in Children spent years mentoring these students, walking alongside them so they'd be ready for exactly this. The Florida Prepaid College Foundation was proud to match that commitment with scholarships that open even more doors.

Here’s to the Class of 2026: bright, bold, and just getting started.
