                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 16, 2018

  Mr. DEUTCH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Broward 
Education Foundation and its 2018 scholarship award recipients. The 
Broward Education Foundation continuously works to engage the broader 
community to make the Broward County Public School system one of the 
best in the State of Florida. These men and women have served Broward 
County with distinction through their efforts, and they have 
demonstrated a commitment to improving our public schools in South 
Florida.
  The Broward Education Foundation helps to provide the students of 
Broward County with an exceptional education, enabling them to reach 
their greatest potential. The Foundation provides support for 
innovative teaching, educational materials for Title I schools, and 
Fiduciary oversight for community members who join in our educational 
mission by establishing Foundation agency funds.
  The Foundation also provides students with scholarships that enable 
them to pursue higher education. These scholarships are awarded to 
graduating seniors who have exhausted all other avenues for financial 
aid, but still fall short of the financial means necessary to attend 
state or community college, university or vocational school. This year, 
the Foundation will provide over 200 of these scholarships to Broward 
County students. Congratulations to all of the 2018 Broward Education 
Foundation scholarship recipients.
  Mr. Speaker, I express my deep appreciation for the Broward Education 
Foundation's work in our community. Their dedication has transformed 
the lives of students by providing them with the educational tools 
necessary to achieve. I them for their work and service.
