The nonprofit has now distributed more than $45 million to over 4,100 students since its founding over 40 years ago, making it the largest scholarship provider in Palm Beach County.
The program provides four-year commitments to ensure stability throughout college, bridging the gap between traditional financial aid and what students and families can afford. Vice President of Development Jay Brandt noted that services go beyond financial help, providing mentorship, professional development, and resources like the College Compass podcast.
One 2026 recipient, Zya Chow, a Wellington Community High School graduate, earned both the Royal Palm Hearing Aid Scholarship and the Davidowitz Family Caregiving Youth Scholarship and plans to attend Georgetown University. The fund also operates the Doyle-Whelchel Scholars Boutique, led by Scholar Services Coordinator Garvey Antoine, which offers professional, formal, and casual wear for scholars to use for interviews, internships, and campus life.
