2021 Scholarship Award Winners
Twenty-five Tampa Bay area seniors with weighted GPAs over 9.0 and amazing stories of resilience, were awarded $2,500 scholarships to continue their post-secondary education.
In addition to these seniors, Brooks DeBartolo Collegiate High School’s Matthew Fernandez was awarded the DeBartolo Family Foundation’s Valedictorian College Scholarship. Matthew graduated with a 9.9 GPA while earning his Associate’s Degree at Hillsborough Community College and attends the Georgia Institute of Technology.
