8th Annual Youth Scholarship Program
The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Foundation had its annual scholarship luncheon on 3/6/22 at the International Polo Club in Wellington. This year’s event was sponsored by the Drasner Family Foundation. 15 Palm Beach County high school seniors, all of whom were nominated by a sworn employee of PBSO, received $2,500 scholarships for their freshman year of college. Each scholarship is renewable for up to 4 years of college or trade school. Chief Deputy Frank DeMario had the honor of presenting each student with his or her scholarship.
