2013

This committee works with the Academics chair to select the Club’s scholarship recipients and plan the Annual Scholarship Reception (in June), which recognizes two Distinguished Gators (community leaders who have shown dedication to the Club) and awards TGC scholarships to selected incoming freshmen from Hillsborough County.  This event is one of the signature events of the Club and typically includes a dinner, entertainment, and an awards program.

Chair: Jen Engelhardt, academics@tampagatorclub.org

Help us celebrate our awe-inspiring local Gators, who have displayed an outstanding commitment to both our community and our beloved University, as well as welcoming the next generation of Gators, our scholarship recipients!

STAY TUNED FOR OUR UPCOMING ANNOUNCEMENTS OF TGC’s 2013 SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS!
