NORTH PORT, Fla. – The Ukrainian American Club (UAC) of Southwest Florida, organized over 20 years ago, encourages and promotes interest in Ukraine, its people, culture and heritage among the greater American public. The club continuously offers exhibits, forums and lectures in support of its objectives. One of the ways the UAC accomplishes this is through an annual scholarship program which is open to any North Port or Port Charlotte High School senior.
The scholarship criteria this year included an essay on the achievements of a 20th or 21st century Ukrainian from either the arts or science/technology.
