Ed Rossi Scholarship Fund
Ed Rossi was the principal sponsor of the Stuart Sailfish Club Scholarship Program since
its inception. His generous contributions made up almost the entire fund amount in the
early years of its existence. Ed never asked for recognition for his generosity, he only
wanted to help the scholarship program to succeed.
Our Scholarship Program is also a means by which we can ensure our precious resources
for future generations. We go a long way towards practicing sound conservation
principles by encouraging and financially assisting those young men and women whose
career interests lie in the field of Marine Science.
The Stuart Sailfish Club now offers three Scholarships, each in the amount of $1,000 to
students who meet the following criteria:
 |
Must be in upper one third of his/her class. |
|
Must be entering a field of endeavor in the area of Marine Sciences.
(i.e., Oceanography,
Marine Biology, Fishery Management, Seamanship, Boat Building, etc.). |
The recipients of the 2009 Stuart Sailfish Club Scholarships were:
Leyna Lloyd
Jensen Beach High School
|
Julie Gehron
Martin County High School
|
David Hill
South Fork High School
|
We would like to thank all the members, tournament sponsors and tournament
participants whose generous contributions last year allowed us to present these
scholarships and enable us to continue to do so, and all who bought raffle tickets for the
Scholarship Fund at the General Meetings.
Thank You! |
