Educate Boca Scholarship Fund sets Golf Scramble date at The Gasparilla
The Boca Grande Area Chamber of Commerce will hold its annual Educate Boca Golf Scramble on Monday, Oct. 7.
The Chamber’s “Educate Boca” Scholarship Fund is a non-profit corporation established by the Chamber to administer its scholarship fund-raising and awards. Recipients receive monetary assistance for college tuition, vocational training and special education.
This year, the fundraiser is hosted by The Gasparilla Inn & Club at its golf course. Last year, the golf scramble was held at Wellen Park Golf & Country Club, where they raised more than $20,000 for scholarships.
Qualified candidates for the scholarship must have a 2.5 GPA or higher and present their SAT and ACT scores to the scholarship committee.
Off-island candidates must have a connection to Boca Grande, whether they were born and raised here, they have a parent who works for or is a BGACC Chamber Member or the candidate works for a BGACC Chamber Member. A candidate can also find a BGACC Chamber Member sponsor business on the island who will write a letter to the scholarship committee explaining why the candidate should qualify.
