FANG Offers FishHawk Scholarship

By Marie Gilmore

 

Members of FishHawk Area Business Group, a five-year-old networking group of FishHawk residents and business owners, wanted to do something for the community. After hosting successful community events for four years, the group wants to do more and has established the FANG Scholarship, a $500 scholarship intended for a resident high school senior to use towards local college tuition.

 

“We would love to pick a FishHawk senior every year to receive this scholarship,” said scholarship chair Michael Melanson. “We are looking for students that get out there and do good things in their community.”

 

In addition to a 3.0 or above grade point average, FANG members will look for community service, letters of recommendation and a 500 word essay from the applicants.

 

Scholarship applications are now being accepted through May 31. The winner will be chosen by FANG member in June and the scholarship awarded at the Thursday, June 14 meeting of FANG at 7:30 p.m. in the Palmetto Club.

 

Applications are available at all FANG meetings, the second and fourth Thursdays of the month at the Palmetto Club conference room at 7:30 p.m. or through the www.fangconnect.com website.

 

For questions or details, contact FANG coordinator Denise Graf at 643-0730 or email dlgraf@tampabay.rr.com.
