Venture Miami Scholarship

Established in 2021, Venture Miami is an office within the City of Miami focused on improving the City’s standard of living through the creation of jobs, support for innovation, increase in wealth, and overall improvement in the quality
of life. With this mission in mind, the Venture Miami Scholarship Fund was formed in partnership with The Miami Foundation to provide tuition support through gap funding for at-need City residents who have been accepted into
STEM or in-demand occupation programs at participating colleges and universities, which include Florida International University (FIU).

Venture Miami is committed to building Miami Forever and a Miami for Everyone.
