10th Annual Youth Scholarship Program

The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Foundation had its annual scholarship luncheon on 3/3/24 at the National Polo Center in Wellington.  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.  Sheriff Ric Bradshaw had the honor of presenting each student with his or her scholarship.  This is the 10th year of the program, and the Sheriff’s Foundation is committed to distributing $150,000 a year in scholarships!  Here are this year’s scholarship winners:
