About the Florida Region Scholarship Program
The scholarship program started in 2007 as a way to recognize some of our outstanding members and support the continuing education of these young athletes through their upcoming college careers. In 2007, we awarded scholarships to 4 high school seniors and thanks to our generous sponsors and partners, we have been able to grow the scholarship program and this year we awarded a total of $110,000 to 24 high school seniors across the state of Florida!
