Derby Lane Scholarships

One scholarship sponsor who truly believes in Pinellas County education is the Weaver family who provides more than $60,000 in college scholarships through the Derby Lane Scholarship Program. Sponsored by the St. Petersburg Kennel Club, the scholarship program provides seniors from the county's 16 high schools with the financial resources to help offset the cost of a college education.

Derby Lane Scholars are selected on the basis of their personal and academic achievements, leadership and service to their school and community. Recipients receive scholarships ranging from $750 to $2,000 to be used at a Florida community college or four-year university. Two students receive scholarships renewable for up to four years of college education. In addition to the Derby Lane Scholars, three students receive the T.L. Weaver Memorial Scholarship.
