Palm Beach County Property Appraiser Gary R. Nikolits recently announced that the Property Appraiser’s Office is now accepting applications for its 2014 college scholarship program. The Property Appraiser’s Office presents $1,000 scholarships each year to five college-bound students. Since 1993, the office has awarded $114,000 in college scholarships.
The application is available on the Property Appraiser’s web site (www.pbcgov.com/papa). The deadline to submit a 2014 application is March 31. An employee scholarship committee selects the five winners. The scholarships are awarded in May.
To be eligible for the scholarship, a student must be a resident of Palm Beach County and have a minimum 3.0 GPA. The college or junior college the student plans to attend must be accredited.
Funds are raised through volunteer employee donations from participants in Friday Casual Dress Day.
