5th Annual Youth Scholarship Program
The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Foundation had its annual scholarship luncheon on 3-3-19 at the International Polo Club in Wellington. Ten Palm Beach County high school seniors, all of whom were nominated by a sworn employee of the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO), received $2,500 scholarships for their freshman year of college.
