Details

The Altamonte Springs Science Incubator (AS2I) supports some of the brightest young minds in Seminole County through its scholarship program. These students represent academic excellence, curiosity and a deep commitment to improving the world around them.

Through meaningful partnerships with AdventHealth and the philanthropic support of the Ansara and Freeman families, the City and AS2I have awarded more than $37,000 in scholarship funding to 25 outstanding Seminole County students to date.

We are sincerely grateful to the following partners whose generosity makes this opportunity possible:

  • AdventHealth - As a leader in healthcare innovation, AdventHealth demonstrates a strong commitment to youth and community advancement. Their mission to nurture and empower aligns seamlessly with AS2I’s vision to inspire the next generation of thinkers and problem solvers. Their partnership opens doors for students and helps transform potential into opportunity.
  • The Ansara Family - Dr. Ashley Ansara and his family are well known in Central Florida for their philanthropic leadership and impactful real estate ventures. Through the Ansara Family Trust, they provide meaningful support to students pursuing careers in STEM fields. We extend our appreciation for their generosity and their continued investment in innovation and future discovery.
  • The Freeman Family -This scholarship also honors the legacy of Beverley P. Freeman, a beloved Seminole County native and longtime guidance counselor at Lyman High School. She spent more than two decades championing students and preparing them for post-secondary success. In her honor, the Freeman Family generously supports the AS2I Scholarship program, helping students who are determined to make meaningful contributions to their communities.

Thanks to the generosity of these partners, the Altamonte Springs Science Incubator proudly supports students who are ready to shape the future through creativity, purpose and innovation.

Leading With Impact

During my undergraduate years, receiving this scholarship played a key role in my admission to the University of Florida and in supporting my studies during freshman year. It also gave me the confidence to pursue STEM. I recently graduated from UF with degrees in microbiology and cell sciences and in nutritional sciences. I’m continuing this path by now doing research at the Yale School of Medicine reproductive sciences biobank, working toward my goal of attending medical school.

The AS2I Scholarship has not only supported me financially during my academic journey; it's also given me a significant source of inspiration moving forward. Seeing the great work that the other recipients have done during high school and plan to do during college has only inspired me even further to reach for the stars as I pursue my goals in STEM.

The City was so helpful in providing a way to honor my mother's memory with this scholarship. We were very impressed with the student recipient and his initiative to increase digital literacy among vulnerable populations. Our mother would be so proud. We look forward to working with the City to continue supporting future STEM leaders.

My family is proud to partner with the City of Altamonte Springs to provide STEM scholarships to Seminole County High School students. Our collaboration throughout the last ten years has been a model that many can replicate. Giving back to my country and community, which gave me the opportunity to succeed, is an honor.
