We are so very thankful to Mr. Tate and his vision for parents who wanted their children to go to college without taking out loans.
Words cannot describe what Stanley accomplished for so many children in this State. Not only did he guide the Florida Prepaid College Program from its beginning, he created the Florida Prepaid Foundation and STARS Program, awarding thousands of scholarships to disadvantaged kids who otherwise would not had a chance to attend college.
He was a lion and a force of nature. I miss him dearly. Rita and I send our heartfelt wishes to the family. Phil Blank
I met with Stanley Tate many times at his office. There were framed photographs with every politician, and he was proud to show me the many awards he had received in his lifetime. A decent, charitable and benevolent family man, community leader and public servant. Baruch Dayan HaEmet.
Any grandparent who sent a child to college has to thank Stanley for his Florida Pre-Paid Program! Brilliance in action!
