The college is
turning 60 in 2020
Remember Your First…
D o you know what the Beatles, Dallas Cowboys and EFSC have in common?
They all turn 60 years old in 2020! As the college gears up for an exciting 60th
celebration, the Foundation is eager to plan activities that include our Alumni.
Beginning December 2019, we will kick-off our campaign “Remember your first…”
Whether you attended BJC, BCC, or EFSC, it was likely your first college experience.
We intend to highlight 60 Alumni, conduct campus tours celebrating our new
and innovative programs, reminisce past accomplishments, and bring back our
retirees and distinguished alumni for celebratory activities. As this is our diamond
anniversary, diamonds will be involved. This is just a sampling of the ideas we have
in the works for you.
What we need from you is to please participate in our events and activities. It will not
be a celebration without you. One final note. We have an incredibly BIG SURPISE that
you will not want to miss. Details to follow. Stay tuned!
60 NEW Scholarships
to celebrate EFSC’s
60th Anniversary
T
he EFSC Foundation has set a lofty goal! In honor of Eastern Florida State College’s
60th anniversary in 2020, we are looking to start 60 new scholarships. YES 60. Have
you considered a scholarship to honor a loved one? Is there a specific program that
you would like to support? Maybe there is a special professor who needs a scholarship
devoted to them? Would you like to contribute to the 60th Anniversary Scholarship
for $60? All these ideas are ways to support the EFSC Foundation Scholarship
program. Each semester, we have many students who need financial support that the
Foundation does not have funding to provide. If you, your business,
or your corporation would like to help
the EFSC Foundation meet this goal,
please contact the Foundation Office
321-433-7055 or efscfoundation@
easternflorida.edu.

Dear Titan
Friends,
An education is the
most precious gift
you can offer. That
is why the work
at the Foundation
is so important
to this college
community. The
students who work the hardest, go the extra
mile, and embrace opportunities are the
most likely to excel in this world. Yet many of
these ambitious, high achieving students need
scholarship support to realize their dreams. You
can make a dream come true.
This past year, the Foundation awarded over
700 students a scholarship to support their
education. What you may not know is that
over 2,300 students applied. EFSC has a goal
to remove the financial obstacles that keep
students from achieving an education. We are
calling on YOU to open the doors to a dynamic.
As we reflect on all that we are grateful for, YOU
are on the top of our list. As one of the most
affordable colleges in our nation, your donation
has a tremendous impact stretching your dollar
even further. Every little bit counts. If you are
interested in supporting student scholarships
or other college initiatives, please contact our
offices at 321-433-7055.
Thank you,
Jennie Kriete
Director,
EFSC Foundation
P.S. Please stay tuned for events and happenings
surrounding our college’s 60th anniversary!
Now is the time to connect and celebrate.
