Julian L. “Fran” Lasseter, Jr Academic Scholarship
The Julian L. “Fran” Lasseter, Jr Academic Scholarship is partnership between the Daytona Beach Gator Club and the Lasseter Family. The scholarship is named after honorable Mr. Lasseter, a former Daytona Beach Gator Club President and UF Alumni, who was tragically passed in 2022. To continue his legacy, annually we award a scholarship in his name to a deserving Volusia County student attending the University of Florida.
