R. Bruce Jones Memorial Scholarship

Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties

This scholarship was established by the Sugar Cane Growers Cooperative in memory of R. Bruce Jones. R. Bruce Jones was a partner in the law firm of Earnest, Lewis, Smith and Jones (now called Jones, Foster, Johnson and Stubbs, P.A.). Law for him was a profession and a way to help people, not simply a way to make money. He helped the development of the Sugar Cane Growers Cooperative and its continued growth for 25 years as General Counsel. This scholarship benefits graduating students of a public or independent high school in the Glades area. Applicants must exhibit academic excellence, demonstrate financial need and active in extracurricular activities.
