Scholarship

Today’s Marco Island Memorial Scholarship has its roots in 2016, when Chapter GT partnered with Wayne Mead to create a local scholarship in memory of his late spouse Marg Mead, a longtime member of Chapter GT.  Now, the Marco Island Memorial Scholarship is funded through the P.E.O. Foundation and honors the memory not only of Marg but also other late Chapter members.   

The $5,000 scholarship is available to any woman who is a legal resident of Collier County FL, and who has completed a minimum of two years of study at an accredited college or university in pursuit of a professional career.
