The Gubelmann Family Foundation Scholarship Fund Grant

Scholarships support aspiring college students who hold the promise of tomorrow’s progress.
Together, our competitive grants and scholarships help our region rise thanks to the vision and generosity of our donors.
The Gubelmann name has been prominent in and around Palm Beach since the early 1940s, when the late Walter Gubelmann and his wife, Barton, first began to spend time in the area. Their son, William grew up in Palm Beach before moving to England to pursue his dream of racing where he became a British Formula Car champion and drove the European Formula II circuit.
Education is the most important thing to help disadvantaged people to better themselves,” William Gubelmann says.
Adds Shelley Gubelmann, “What impresses me is the fact that many of these students aren’t looking for large amounts of money. I don’t think people have nearly enough awareness that you don’t have to be a rich person to help somebody else.”
The first scholarships were awarded from the Gubelmann Family Foundation Scholarship Fund in May 2001
