Each year, the Club provides one-time scholarship awards of at least $500 to eligible recipients. The number and final amount of awards each year will be determined by the Review Committee, per the annual budget as determined by the Treasurer and President.
Throughout the year, the Club raises funds through member activities and partnerships, from which the Club awards scholarships to eligible University of Florida students from the Upstate.
