Northwest Florida State College presented the Advancing Institutional Mission (AIM) Award to FL Representative Patt Maney for his efforts in appropriating funds for the College and helping expand the educational opportunities in Northwest Florida.

In 2021, Rep. Maney’s efforts resulted in the College receiving approximately $800,000 in grants for various educational initiatives and programs. He has continued to support NWFSC this year as he appropriated:

$11 million for the Gallimore Center for Healthcare Education on the College’s Niceville campus.
$500,000 for the Aviation Center of Excellence.
$790,906 for the Nursing Education program.
$7.5 million+ for deferred maintenance.

The College established the AIM Award in 2021 in an effort to recognize individuals and organizations for successfully advancing the institution to a place of prominence in the region. Rep. Maney is the fourth individual to date to receive this award.
