In an effort to fulfill our mission of promoting Florida College, the Chicagoland Chapter of the Hutchinson Bell offers aid to prospective students and current students in two different ways. It is our goal to help prospective students visit the Florida College campus during “Experience FC” and to offer the opportunity to apply for a scholarship to students who have been accepted to Florida College. Learn more about each of these opportunities below.

Experience FC is a one-day event that is designed to give guests a hands-on focus, allowing them to experience the Florida College campus in a more personalized way. It is our hope that this day will offer a more comprehensive understanding of the college. The Chicagoland Chapter of the Hutchinson Bell helps high school juniors and seniors from the Chicagoland area and their parents attend Experience FC, by reimbursing some or all of the travel expenses incurred, depending on the annual budget. To learn more about the policies and procedures for obtaining this aid, please come back to this site in June of 2026 for updated information. To learn more about what to expect during Experience FC, find a date that fits your schedule or register to attend, please click here, and you will be taken to Florida College’s website.
