BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – The Eastern Florida State College Foundation has been awarded a $15,000 donation from the Brevard Indo-American Medical and Dental Association (BIMDA) that will fund student scholarships in nursing.

BIMDA leaders presented the “Gift of Education for EFSC Foundation” award May 6 during the evening gala during the organization’s 15th annual Medical Expo and CME Conference at the Melbourne Rialto Place Hilton.
