Are you interested in supporting the financial needs of deserving students seeking to obtain a higher education? Or, are you seeking a lasting way to honor or memorialize a loved one? If so, then we encourage you to consider establishing a scholarship through the Daytona State Foundation. Scholarships
afford students in need the opportunity to continue or enhance their
education by providing financial support for tuition, fees, books, and
other related expenses. With college costs continually on the rise, the challenge remains to provide the means for all students to succeed in reaching their academic goals, regardless of financial circumstances. This is why scholarships are so important.
By
establishing a scholarship through the Daytona State Foundation, you
help impact the lives of our students and our community by giving one
of the most valuable gifts of all—the gift of education. The
Daytona State Foundation will work with you to create a scholarship
which benefits targeted students based on your interests and intended
funding. They may be as specific or as general as you
would like, and may be established as one-time or annual awards based
on your wishes. For a comprehensive, printable list of items to consider when establishing a scholarship, please click here.
In
addition, your donation in support of scholarships may be made even
greater through a dollar for dollar match from the State of Florida.
