In 2014, a donor from the congregation of the First Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Palm Beaches donated funds to be used to offer scholarships to those who are choosing to enroll in either public or private colleges or trade schools. Those students who have demonstrated involvement in social justice work and can state a plan for future social justice work will receive priority.
