GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The University of Florida Innovation Academy is thrilled to announce Tiffany Steinke as the 2025 Suss Family Endowment Scholarship awardee.

Steinke is a third-year public relations major, whose dream is to attend law school and pursue a career in criminal prosecution. She has just completed an internship with the Florida House of Representatives in Tallahassee, and has demonstrated great commitment to self-growth, academic excellence, and professional development—proving herself to be a worthy candidate and award recipient.

She has not only gained valuable experience through various internships, which include serving as a legislative intern and as a digital marketing assistant at the Career Connections Center, but has also remained involved on campus while maintaining a high GPA.
