FGCU scholarships funded

The 27th annual Paul Sands Memorial Slaw Dog invitational golf tournament and major sponsor Rockstar Harley-Davidson donated $35,000 for the Paul Sands Memorial – REIS Scholarship program at Florida Gulf Coast University. The program funds scholarships for outstanding students pursuing degrees in real estate, finance, engineering and construction management. The presentation took place at the Real Estate Investment Society Feb. 13 luncheon.

The scholarships each provide $2,500 toward tuition and books. These scholars also receive honorary membership in REIS for one year and may attend meetings on a complimentary basis.

The Real Estate Investment Society established the permanent scholarship fund with FGCU in 1999 with a $10,000 endowment. In 2011 it was named the Paul Sands Memorial – REIS Scholarship in memory of REIS member and governor Paul Sands. A portion of proceeds from the annual Paul Sands Memorial Slaw Dog invitational golf tournament are added to the scholarship fund each year. In 2006, REIS also established the REIS Scholarship Foundation, a not-for-profit, registered 501(c)3 corporation that provides an opportunity to make charitable donations. REIS provides management of the foundation, allowing 100% of donations to be awarded as scholarships.

Information on contributing to the REIS scholarship program is available at the REIS website. Criteria, school contacts, and other information on the program are also available on the REIS website.
