SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS TO PARTICIPATE IN CONTRACT-SIGNING CEREMONIES, OCT. 8


October 7, 2003


Contract-signing ceremonies will be held at two Miami-Dade public schools, Wednesday, Oct. 8 for middle school students who were awarded scholarships from the Cruise Industry Charitable Foundation (CICF) and the Florida Prepaid College Foundation (FPCF). The first ceremony will be at 9:30 a.m. at Brownsville Middle, 4899 NW 24 Ave., Miami; the second will be at 2 p.m. at Citrus Grove Middle, 2153 NW 3 St., Miami.

On May 2002, the CICF donated $l00,000 to the FPCF, which matched it dollar-for-dollar so that a total of $200,000 would be available to provide full-paid college scholarships for qualified high school seniors.

Founded in 1989, the Florida Prepaid College Foundation has provided more than 15,000 tuition and local fee college scholarships totalling more than $52 million to economically disadvantaged students in Florida.
