Geraldine L. Cabic Charitable Scholarship

The Geraldine L. Cabic Charitable Scholarship, administered by the Community Foundation for Brevard, supports local students pursuing healthcare education. This program is specifically for Brevard County residents enrolled in the Nursing and Health Sciences Institute at Eastern Florida State College. To qualify, applicants must have finished at least one semester of post-secondary education and hold a minimum 3.0 GPA. Individuals who already hold two or more college degrees, or those seeking postgraduate degrees, are not eligible to apply.

To apply, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and submit the Eligibility Overview section of their FAFSA Submission Summary to demonstrate financial need. Additional requirements include a resume, transcripts, a letter of recommendation, and short essay responses. The application deadline is February 2, 2027, at 11:59 p.m.
