Investing in Our Future
The Flagler Palm Coast Kiwanis Foundation has awarded over $1,000,000 in scholarships to date, supporting students in their pursuit of higher education.
In partnership with the Flagler Chamber of Commerce, our scholarship program began in 1983 at Flagler Palm Coast High School with total awards of $9,000. Today, annual scholarship awards exceed $380,000, making our ceremony one of the largest in the state of Florida.
The Foundation supports students from both Flagler Palm Coast High School and Matanzas High School. In 2026 alone, the Foundation awarded $47,000 in scholarships. The annual Senior Scholarship Awards Ceremony has been sponsored by the Foundation for nearly three decades.
