ABOUT THE REGINA MERRITT SCHOLARSHIP FUND Regina was the Executive Director at FCCA. Tragically she passed away February 1, 2022. Regina & her husband, Kevin, have two beautiful, talented daughters. The Regina Merritt Scholarship Fund was established by FCCA to offset college expenses for their two daughters. It is our intention to continue hosting events like this to build the Scholarship not only for Regina’s daughters, but beyond that to include future recipients within our community. We can’t think of a better way to honor a woman that was so instrumental in education throughout her lifetime.
