Samantha Collins

The John 'Sam' Collins Memorial Scholarship is established to honor the life of John 'Sam' Collins, who was a passionate advocate for fishing, wildlife conservation, athletics, nutrition, and physical education. Following his passing due to colon cancer, this scholarship aims to support undergraduate or trade school students in Florida who share his interests and are committed to making a positive impact in their communities. The scholarship reflects Collins' legacy and encourages students to pursue fields related to wildlife, conservation, agriculture, environmental justice, animal care, athletics, nutrition, or physical education, particularly those with a love for fishing, baseball, or softball.
