The organization has created scholarships in seven areas identified as growth sectors for the economies of both Martin County and the state of Florida. The sectors are alternative energy, life sciences and health sciences, information technology and digital media, environmental sciences, education, finance, and the arts.

 

Qualified students pursuing higher education in any of the seven specific areas will be eligible for the scholarships starting in 2011, with applications due in the fall of 2010. “The community needs its young people to become educated in these fields, to come back and work locally, and to take leadership positions in our community,” according to Judith Weber, President of Nina Haven Scholarships.
