Celebrating its new partnership with the University, a check presentation is planned for Monday, June 13 at Bayside Marketplace's Marina Stage (401 Biscayne Boulevard) at 3:30 p.m. With the primary goal of stimulating economic development in the City of Miami, the Miami Bayside Foundation has provided vocational workshops and educational scholarships to minority businesses and students since 1988. Continuing its mission, this donation from the Foundation will provide talented students within the City the resources needed to pursue their academic and professional goals at FlU. Nearly 50 percent ofall undergraduate students at FlU receive financial aid, and nearly 60 percent ofthose recipients come from families with an annual household income less than $30,000. Students representing the first generation in their families to attend college account for nearly 40 percent of FlU's student body. "It was vital for the Miami Bayside Foundation's decision to add FlU, Miami's premier public research university, to its list ofpartnering educational institutions," said Nathan Kurland, chairman ofthe Bayside Foundation's scholarship committee. "There's such a need for fmancial assistance in our community." In providing funds toward an endowment and a First Generation Scholarship program, the Miami Bayside Foundation will assist in preventing highly motivated students with limited resources from being forced to attend only part-time colleges or postpone their education altogether.

"Through education we can truly empower today's entrepreneurs and the aspiring entrepreneurs of tomorrow." In April, the Miami Bayside Foundation presented $9,000 in scholarships to students enrolled in Miami Dade College's School of Business. The scholarship program is part ofan additional endowment fund created by the Foundation serving Miami Dade College. The fund at Miami Dade College currently totals close to $1 million. FlU is ranked first in the nation in awarding bachelor's degrees to minorities and has the fastest growing university alumni group in the region. The Endowment gift of$103,000 created to support City of Miami residents will be matched at 50 percent by the State of Florida, resulting in total funds of$150,000. Also supplemented by matched state funds, the $100,000 gift toward the First Generation Scholarship Fund over 10 years will be matched at 100 percent, resulting in total funds of $200,000. The total impact ofthe endowment and scholarship gifts equal more than $350,000.
