About

Aim Higher Florida is a state wide initiative started by students in the state university system. Our goals are twofold:

1. Raise Awareness: Aim Higher Florida hopes to unite students, business leaders, community leaders and elected leaders in Florida to raise awareness on the positive impacts of increasing funding for Higher Education for our State University System.

2. Prioritize funding for SUS: Aim Higher Florida believes increasing resources from the state budget for Higher Education in our State University System has a high return on Investment, will improve the workforce in Florida, will improve the economic climate in Florida, and ultimately secure Florida’s future as a place where a thriving and diverse economy can flourish.

Who we are:

Created by students, Aim Higher Florida is a campaign focusing on informing all students and the citizens of Florida about the importance of funding for Higher Education. Aim Higher Florida is a coalition of student leaders and universities who believe the state of Florida’s economic success and future begins with thriving Higher Education programs and institutions.

We believe that Higher Education fuels and inspires students to a lifetime of learning, discovery and success thus providing Florida with a bright future. We believe a strong Higher Education system has the power to enhance the quality of life, Florida’s overall economy, and brings opportunities to Florida when given the funds necessary.

Well-rounded individuals with degrees from Florida’s publicly funded State University Systems are crucial to keeping Florida and America competitive in a changing market while also attracting the best jobs and employers to our great state.

We aim to have Florida invest in Higher Education, thereby investing in the future of the state. We are Aim Higher Florida.
