The scholarship is named in memory of John M. \u201cJack\u201d Bevan, Ph.D., the founding dean of faculty at Florida Presbyterian College (now Eckerd College), whose energy, warmth and generosity inspired the best in students and faculty. The Bevan Memorial Scholarship is awarded annually to an outstanding junior with an excellent academic record and a record of campus service as a leader, a catalyst for positive change and a source of support to other students.<\/p>\n

\u201cZoey\u2019s impact on the Eckerd community has been substantial,\u201d explains Marjorie Sanfilippo, Ph.D., vice president for student success at Eckerd and a member of the scholarship committee. \u201cAs a co-president of the Women in STEM Club, Zoey has not only coordinated events and served as an excellent role model for other students, but she has also connected STEM majors with professionals outside of Eckerd.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” top_margin_tablet=”32″ top_margin_phone=”32″ column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”18938″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”16″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Zoey Lorusso ’27<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”32″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\u201cIn her role as president of EC-Engage<\/a>,\u201d Sanfilippo adds, \u201cshe strengthens relationships with local alumni to keep them engaged with Eckerd.

She communicates and coordinates with other volunteers to ensure community members receive the food resources they need.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Bevan Scholarship provides $2,500 per year over the two years of the award.<\/p>\n

Eckerd wants you to engage with the community, and all you have to do is engage back. That\u2019s crucial for students, because it really does foster your passion for involvement. It just grows.\u201d<\/p>\n

The College also announced that Melissa Castro-Arellano, a junior psychology and human development student from Bradenton, Florida, has been named the recipient of The Page Hill Foundation Scholarship for 2025\u20132026. This scholarship, established by Brittany Poulo \u201921 and her mother, Lynn Devereux, honors a student who has demonstrated a record of civic participation and dedication to civic education, furthering justice and equity in our society, or community development.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell-deserving of this reward,\u201d Sanfilippo says, \u201cMelissa has a strong track record of civic engagement both on campus and in the surrounding community. At Eckerd, she is president of the Active Minds at Eckerd College club; she leads initiatives that advance equitable wellness, partnering with ECOS, campus organizations, and faculty to organize public health awareness events. She also works to expand access to menstrual products and contraceptives, revitalized the Bloody Change initiative, and hosted an Endometriosis Awareness event. She is also developing future programs focused on conditions such as PCOS and PMS.<\/p>\n

\u201cOff campus, Melissa mentors middle and high school students through the Hispanic Council in Tampa, guiding them through the college application process and building opportunities for Eckerd students to get involved. She also serves as a research assistant in Eckerd\u2019s Health and Well-Being Lab,\u201d Sanfilippo adds.<\/p>\n

\u201cDeeply committed to civic education and justice, Melissa works to foster a fair, welcoming and socially aware campus environment. She facilitates early conversations with students about public health and social disparities and works to connect Eckerd students with St. Petersburg\u2019s Spanish-speaking community through service learning. As a leader in Latinos Unidos [a student club] on campus, she is collaborating on organizing a fundraiser to support legal-aid services.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Page Hill Scholarship offers students of sophomore status or higher a $5,000 award for the academic year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe recognition gives you more financial security, but it\u2019s also a nod to keep going,\u201d Melissa explains. \u201cIt helps me feel like I\u2019m doing something good for the community, and that that\u2019s being recognized. And participating makes me feel like a better student, like I\u2019m getting more of a complete education.\u201d<\/p>\n

Melissa plans to invite more speakers from local health agencies to campus and then to continue her work in graduate school, where she\u2019ll conduct research in psychology and public health. \u201cThere are a lot of issues around wellness and well-being that don\u2019t get talked about a lot,\u201d she says. \u201cI want to know why people think this way and how we can get them to change.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
