Welcome Miami-Dade and Broward County High School Seniors! 

 It is a great honor to serve as President of Salute to Education (STE), and work alongside the many sponsors and volunteers who make this scholarship endeavor a success! 

In 1994, The Miami-Dade and Broward County Ford and Lincoln Mercury dealers established Salute to Education with a shared goal to improve the quality of education in South Florida . We are proud to have granted over $3 million in scholarships to more than 3,000 students in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties! 

The rewards of this program have begun to bear fruit, as tomorrow's leaders are already making a difference today! Our goal is to encourage college-bound students to reach their career objectives by rewarding those who strive to achieve excellence in the classroom, as well as in their community. 

On behalf of the 20 Miami-Dade and Broward County Ford and Lincoln Mercury dealers and Ford Motor Company, I invite you to browse our website and submit an online application if you are a high school senior in a Miami-Dade or Broward County public or private high school, plan to graduate in 2009, and meet the established criteria. You may contact us via e-mail at steinfo@stescholarships.org. 

Good luck and congratulations to all!! 

John Maggio
