The
Robert J. Skidmore, Sr. Scholarship is for college-bound high
school seniors pursuing a career in any facet of the marine
industry.
Administered by the Marine Industries Association of the Treasure
Coast (MIATC), this scholarship was named posthumously in honor
of Robert J. Skidmore, Sr., who passed in 2004. Mr. Skidmore
became a member of MIATC in 1988 when he moved to the Treasure
Coast. He served on the association’s board in 1989 and
served as the association’s president in 1993 and 1994.
Mr. Skidmore was instrumental in moving the Stuart Boat Show
from the Martin County Fairgrounds to Northside Marina, which
he owned until he sold it in 2003. With Mr. Skidmore’s
help, the Stuart Boat show has become one of the most successful
and fastest-growing regional shows between Palm Beach and Charleston.
He had a love for the marine industry and treasured those who
had high work ethics. |
