The scholarships provide funding for tuition, certain fees, room and board. The goal is to fund the annual cost of tuition, certain fees, room and board (after application of any available Bright Futures Scholarship) for each student chosen for up to four consecutive years of undergraduate study.
 
The Louise G. Eatroff Memorial College Scholarship Fund has been endowed by Nancy Geltman Resnick and Dr. Richard Eatroff as a means of both honoring Louise’s memory and assuring that the significance of her life will be remembered not just today or tomorrow, but well into the future. Her devotion to the Tampa Jewish Community Center, having served as its president for two terms, is well known. She was involved in many of its programs and worked tirelessly on its behalf lived by the Jewish values of Tzedekah and Tikkun Olam, and she believed wholeheartedly that a college education opens the door to countless opportunities for fulfillment and success in life.
 
The Louise Eatroff Memorial College Scholarship will be available to one student that is beginning college in the Fall of 2024.
