Two Major Gifts Provide 新澳门六合彩开奖记录 Students Additional Scholarships

Students at 新澳门六合彩开奖记录 will have more scholarship opportunities thanks to major gifts from the Florida College System Foundation and Cape Design Engineering Co.

The FCS Foundation donated nearly $34,000 and Cape Design Engineering gave $25,000 on Wednesday to the 新澳门六合彩开奖记录 Foundation that provides scholarship funds.

鈥淭hese gifts will help students pursue their education and start excellent careers, and we鈥檙e extremely grateful to both the FCS Foundation and Cape Design Engineering for their support and generosity,鈥� said college President Dr. Jim Richey.

The Florida College System Foundation money will be used in several ways:

• Nearly $16,000 is for the Helios Education Foundation First Generation Scholars award to students for tuition, books and fees.
• Some $12,400 is for the Florida Blue Nursing and Allied Health Scholarship for students in healthcare fields.
• Nearly $5,200 is for the Bank of America Dream Makers Scholarship for help with tuition, books, fees, transportation and childcare.

The FCS Foundation was established in 1994 and has been providing student scholarships to Florida's 28 state colleges since 1999.

The $25,000 donation from Cape Design Engineering Co. (CDE) will provide scholarships to students at 新澳门六合彩开奖记录鈥檚 new Health Sciences Institute on the Melbourne campus.

The endowment will be invested by the 新澳门六合彩开奖记录 Foundation with the earnings used for scholarships in perpetuity.

To be eligible, students must be a Florida resident, enrolled full time in their program of study at the 新澳门六合彩开奖记录 Health Sciences Institute and maintain a 3.5 GPA.

CDE founders Lutfi and Peggy Mized, Kannan Rengarajan, and Rama Kannan established the company 20 years ago to provide engineering, design, building and construction services.

The company offers high quality services to its clients in the educational, healthcare, commercial and industrial sectors, as well as the federal government and Department of Defense.

CDE has worked with the college since 1999, helping it save millions of dollars in energy costs and enhancing the performance of its equipment and facilities.

One of its most prestigious projects for Eastern Florida was the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design of the new Health Sciences Institute, which opened in January.

Said company officials of the endowment: 鈥淐DE realizes the impact this new state-of-the-art teaching facility will make on the community and is proud to have again helped Eastern Florida State College, a true cornerstone of Brevard County, provide a place to train and produce the next generation of health care professionals.

鈥淐DE鈥檚 vision is aligned with 新澳门六合彩开奖记录 鈥� we believe in the power of community and education. We view the establishment of this scholarship as a duty to help the very community we live in and could not be prouder to do so.

鈥淚t is our hope and desire this scholarship will not only help Eastern Florida promote higher education but will also help to raise up the next Titans of our community.鈥�
