Assisting Staff and their Dependents
The Staff Advisory Council (SAC) at FGCU has been dedicated to facilitating effective communication between the Staff, the President and the Administration since its created in 2000.
As SAC continues to grow with FGCU, the council decided to not only give back to FGCU staff through professional development opportunities, events, and staff recognition, but also expand employee recognition with the creation of the SAC Scholarship through the FGCU Foundation Scholarship.
SAC is honored and excited to offer a scholarship opportunity to a staff member, or their dependent, for the academic year! The Special Events Committee plans to raise funds for the scholarship during events such as the SAC annual picnic and the Give Where You Live campaign. In 2021 we had such a successful fund drive, for the first time SAC will award TWO $500 fall scholarship. Below is eligibility information, which is also posted on the Scholarships page of the Foundation website.
