The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Foundation had its annual scholarship luncheon on 3-4-18 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. 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.

Quote from Rick Seymour, Chairman of the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Foundation: “We are very excited about our Youth Scholarship Program…we received dozens of applications. As a charitable organization, we want to give back to the community, and we feel there is no better way to do that than by helping deserving students further their education.”
Over 170 guests and supporters enjoyed the memorable IPC event, which included demonstrations by the PBSO Aviation, K-9 and Mounted Units, a lavish brunch and world-class polo.
