MELBOURNE, FLA.—The Florida Institute of Technology Women’s Business Center (WBC) recently received $400 from the Zonta Club of Melbourne to provide scholarships to women.

The scholarship honors the Meehan family—Dennis, Kathy, Ron, LeAnne and Barbara—and Warren Miller for their longtime support of the Zonta Club.

The Zonta Club of Melbourne has provided the WBC with $1,300 to-date for scholarship funds, and continues to fund this program on a quarterly basis.
