BROOKSVILLE, Fla. — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced a $3 million job growth grant for Pasco-Hernando State College.

At a press conference at Pasco-Hernando State College North Campus on June 10, Governor DeSantis said the grant will fund an airframe and power-plant program.

DeSantis said investment in the program will give students more options beyond a traditional four-year college, including high-skilled trades.

"We want to provide the opportunities for students to choose their own way. Does not have to be a four-year brick-and-ivy university. It can be apprenticeships, high school certification. It can be our state college system," DeSantis said.
