In the Spring of 2024, over one hundred local high school seniors applied for a scholarship from the Gator Club of Jacksonville. Having been accepted into the University of Florida, these eager future Gators represented some of the brightest of the brightest.

With the high standards set forth by UF, the nation’s #1 public university, it was no surprise these applicants excelled in academics, community service, sports, leadership, and various extracurriculars. Narrowing down these talented applicants was no small feat! After thoughtful consideration, the Gator Club of Jacksonville’s board members voted and 12 worthy applicants rose to the top. As a result of the club’s tireless fundraising efforts last year, the scholarship recipients were awarded $2500 each to offset the cost of their freshman year.

In anticipation of another crop of eager future Gators, the Gator Club of Jacksonville is actively fundraising to make the orange and blue dreams of 2025’s awardees come true. Our goal is to exceed last year’s fundraising to provide as many, if not more, future UF students with scholarships.

Our efforts rely on the support of generous donors like you. Please support our event as a participant and/or silent auction donor.

The Gator Club of Jacksonville is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
