SEQ CHAPTERJim Kirk Scholarship

Each year the Marion County Seminole Club Selection Committee selects several students from the group of qualified applicants for our annual scholarship which is named in honor of “Country Jim” Kirk for his years of dedication and service to Florida State University. Qualified applicants are all newly accepted students to Florida State University. Incoming freshmen as well as community college transfers may apply. The decision criteria will be based on four categories: G.PA., ACT & SAT scores, Citizenship, and Need. All applicants must be from Marion County.

The number and amount of scholarships have varied from year to year based upon fund raising and the applicant pool, the Club has awarded four $1,000 scholarships annually in 2002, 2003 and 2004, three $1500 scholarships in 2005, five $1000 scholarships in 2006 and four $1000 scholarships in 2007, 2008 .

Scholarship winners are notified approximately 2 weeks before the banquet and they and their parents will be invited to attend the annual banquet as guests of the Club.

The scholarship recipient(s) will be announced at the annual BOBBY BOWDEN DAY BANQUET, May 5th, 2009. The scholarships will be awarded for the fall semester and made available through the FSU Financial Aid office.
