Arledge and Osceola head to FSU

By Emma Brown

BRIGHTON — Bryan Arledge and D’anna Osceola have both been accepted into the Florida State University, home of the Seminoles. Both students are from the Brighton reservation and have always been very successful in school.

Arledge and Osceola recently visited the university to meet with administrators of the CARE program, a program designed to serve as a safety net for students during their studies at FSU.

The program is designed to ensure academic success in such a large university and to make the students feel safe and secure in all aspects of university life. For those of who have not attended a university of this size, it can be an overwhelming and intimidating experience.

Thousands of applications are reviewed for this program, but only 300 are accepted and the Brighton Education department is proud to let the Brighton community know that Bryan Arledge and D’anna Osceola are two of those students that will be a part of this program.

Both students began their college career in June and need all the support they can get.
