Palm Beach County Property Appraiser Gary R. Nikolits is happy to announce that the Property Appraiser’s Office is now accepting applications for its 2016 college scholarship program.
The Property Appraiser’s Office presents $1,000 scholarships each year to five college-bound students. 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 they plan to attend must be accredited. The applicant must be graduating from a public, private or home school within Palm Beach County and entering college as a full-time student.
Students can download the application from the Property Appraiser’s web site, www.pbcgov.com/papa. School counselors also have copies of the application. The deadline to submit the 2016 application is March 31.
Since 1994, the Property Appraiser’s Office has awarded $120,000 in college scholarships. Money is raised through volunteer employee donations from participants in Friday Casual Dress Day. An employee scholarship committee selects the five winners. The scholarships are awarded in May. For info., call (561) 355-3230.
