“Paying it Forward” is the enduring motto of the Scheidel Scholars, the majority of whom attend the University of North Florida or Florida State College at Jacksonville. Turning their motto into action, the more than 100+ Scheidel Scholars and alumni give back to their community by participating in team-building volunteer activities on a regular basis. These activities, ranging from building a home to a simple beach clean-up, involve the Scholars in their communities as they work toward the completion of their degrees.
