All candidates will be evaluated fairly and equitably.

________________________________________________________________________________________
Mrs. Nadine B. McMillon was the first PTSA President at Coral Reef Senior High in 1997, when her now adult children were students in Miami-Dade County Public Schools. Her dedication to the school, students, faculty and staff, as well as her community, was unparalleled. There are no words to properly describe Mrs. McMillon's commitment to the mission statement of our beloved Florida PTSA. She inspired other parents and grandparents to actively participate in the PTSA and other community service activities. The Coral Reef PTSA honors her legacy as a community activist by awarding this scholarship to three worthy seniors of Coral Reef High School.

A one-time scholarship in the amount of $1,000.00 will be awarded to the three winning applicants.  An applicant must be a graduating senior, 2024 financial member of the Coral Reef PTSA, who will be attending a 4-year college/university. Payment will be released upon confirmation of enrollment to which the scholarship recipient has been accepted.
