 “Whether it be providing college scholarships or playing a critical role in supporting sports related initiatives, the Sarasota Area Sports Authority (SASA) continues to be an excellent resource for our community.  SASA's involvement in youth and amateur sports, along with assisting in sports tourism and sports marketing, is invaluable”

 “The SASA scholarship program has been extremely helpful for me here at Florida A&M. Through SASA’s support it has placed me in a comfortable position in which I am able to bear the expenses of the University. I am not pressured with notices of debts in any area, which in turn allows me to focus more on my school work and enjoying the college experience. I am so honored to have received this scholarship”
