The Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Florida State Parks and the Florida Prepaid College Savings Program are joining to encourage families to explore and enjoy all that Florida has to offer children, now and in the future. 

The partnership invites families to discover educational opportunities through a Florida Prepaid college savings plan, as well as enjoy the Florida State Parks Junior Ranger Program. 

Adventurous parents and guardians of children — from newborns to eighth graders — can enter the “Exploring Education Scholarship” sweepstakes for a chance to win a $1,000 scholarship in a Florida 529 Savings Plan and a Florida State Parks Junior Ranger gift pack, including a hammock and an inflatable stand-up paddleboard.  

Ten Florida children will win this prize. The promotion runs now through June 30. Winners will be randomly selected and notified by July 20. 

During this sweepstakes period, Florida Prepaid will also invest $50 toward every newly created Florida 529 Savings Plan account.
