The Chuck Skoch Florida Sea Grant Scholarship provides financial assistance to high school seniors in Florida who participate in the State Science and Engineering Fair. Students entering the fair with a project in aquaculture, environmental engineering, ocean engineering, wildlife, and fisheries management, food science (seafood), marine science, oceanography, or related to marine resource management are welcome to apply.
In 1997, the Charles Skoch family of Boynton Beach, Florida, created an endowment within the University of Florida Foundation, which funds a $1,000 per year Chuck Skoch Florida Sea Grant Scholarship. The first scholarship was awarded in 1998. In this program, a high school senior student is selected through competition in the Florida Annual State Science and Engineering Fair as conducted statewide by the Florida Foundation for Future Scientists.
