Christopher A. Matos Memorial Scholarship

Chris Matos Obituary 

To know Chris was to love him ... his smile, his passion for life, and his generosity are unforgettable. We, as his family and friends, have lost a piece of ourselves with his passing.

To make sure he is remembered always, his family, led by his father and four siblings, are setting up a scholarship at Florida State University, his Alma Mater. The end goal is a rather lofty one, so we are going to try to raise $10,000 per year until we reach our goal.

These funds will be put towards an endowment that will provide scholarships for three students each year in perpetuity:

* $2,000 for a graduate student enrolled in the Masters in Public Health program.

* $1,000 for a student in the College of Human Sciences.

*$1,000 for a student through Campus Recreation, which will be matched by the program. 

The first awards will be made in the Fall of 2021 and will continue to be funded annually by us while we work on building up the endowment.

Conocer a Chris era amarlo ... su sonrisa, su pasión por la vida y su generosidad son inolvidables. Nosotros, como su familia y amigos, hemos perdido una parte de nosotros mismos con su fallecimiento.

Para asegurarse de que siempre lo recuerden, su familia, dirigida por su padre y cuatro hermanos, está preparando una beca en la Universidad Estatal de Florida, su Alma Mater. El objetivo final es bastante elevado, por lo que intentaremos recaudar $ 10,000 por año hasta alcanzar nuestro objetivo.

Estos fondos se destinarán a una donación que proporcionará becas a tres estudiantes cada año a perpetuidad:

* $ 2,000 para un estudiante de posgrado inscrito en el programa de Maestría en Salud Pública.

* $ 1,000 para un estudiante de la Facultad de Ciencias Humanas.

* $ 1,000 para un estudiante a través de Campus Recreation, que será igualado por el programa.

Los primeros premios se otorgarán en el otoño de 2021 y continuaremos siendo financiados anualmente por nosotros mientras trabajamos en la construcción de la donación.
