The proposed bill establishes the "First in Your Family Florida Medical School Scholarship and Grant Program" within the Department of Education, aimed at providing financial support to students who are the first in their families to enroll in accredited medical schools or approved physician assistant programs. The program will award scholarships based on specific eligibility criteria, including income limits and enrollment status, with a focus on students from in-state institutions. The bill outlines the scholarship distribution process, allowing for funds to be used for emergency expenses and educational materials, and sets a maximum grant amount for institutions or organizations that provide mentoring services to these students.

Additionally, the bill appropriates $10 million in recurring funds from the General Revenue Fund for the implementation of the program starting in the 2025-2026 fiscal year. The legislation aims to address the anticipated physician shortage in Florida by encouraging and supporting first-generation medical students, thereby enhancing the state's healthcare workforce. The program is designed to prioritize students from in-state schools and includes provisions for the renewal of scholarships for up to four years, contingent on continued enrollment.
