DSC receives $6,000 scholarship gift from Daytona Beach Kiwanis

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Aug. 5, 2015) – Daytona State College President Tom LoBasso was

delighted to receive a $6,000 check last week from the Daytona Beach Kiwanis Club, a result of proceeds from the annual fund-raising golf tournament held in partnership with the college.

"It's rewarding to work with excellent partners like the Kiwanis Club," said LoBasso. “Our students benefit so much from scholarship support like this generous check.” The 2015 golf tournament brought in $2,500 more than last year.

Each year the Daytona State College Foundation awards nearly $1 million in scholarships – with more students in need still seeking assistance with college costs. “We deeply appreciate the support for education that our partners like the Kiwanis Club bring to the college,” said Kay Burniston, executive director of the Foundation. “While we were able to assist some 1,000 students last year, many more requested scholarship help.”

To contact the Foundation, call (386) 506-3195 or email Foundation@DaytonaState.edu.
