Jacksonville Seminole Club Awards
Inaugural Memorial Scholarship
To FSU Hospitality Students
JACKSONVILLE, FL - On Friday, June 1st, 6 PM at Deercreek Country Club, during the Jay Abraham Wine Gala, the Jacksonville Seminole Club will award the inaugural scholarships from the Jay Abraham Scholarship Fund.
Four students from Florida State University, Dedman School of Hospitality have been selected on the basis of work history, academics, financial need, and written expression of aspirations. The awardees are Chris Cheeseman, Teresa Doherty, Mark Rerscher, and Melanie Rodriguez. Each scholarship, in the amount of $2,500, will be presented in memory of Jay Abraham, past president of the Jacksonville Seminole Club. The Dedman School of Hospitality is a hospitality and tourism management-oriented, four-year program in the College of Business at Florida State University.
As a supportive alumnus of Florida State University and a leader in the Wine Industry, Jay Abraham would have known the impact a Dedman graduate could have on Florida's economy. Conceptualized 5 years ago, this annual fundraising event has been generously supported by the wine, liquor, beverage, and Florida food retailer industries. The Friday evening Wine Gala will be coupled with the annual Jay Abraham Golf Tournament which will be held on Saturday, 12:30 PM, June 2, at the Ponte Vedra Golf Club. These events provide funds for scholarship awards to FSU students.
