Give to the Chick and Lisa Gregg Endowed Scholarship

After earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Structural Engineering and Construction from the University of Florida, Chick Gregg worked as a civil engineer for RS&H (Reynold, Smith &Hills) which provides architectural, engineering, and consulting services, and eventually rose to the position of Chief Operating Officer in 1992. 

RS&H has served an integral role in shaping the future of mankind, from the launch of the national space program to the expansion of the U.S. highway network to development of global airports; all of which connect our community to the world and beyond.

His true passion was aviation, coming from a family of aviators who flew heavy bombers during World War II.  He relished the times he accompanied his father, where occasionally he was allowed to take control under his father's supervision. 

After a long and expansive career, Chick, along with his wife, Lisa, own and operate Air Unlimited, an air charter service operating out of Orlando Sanford International Airport. Grateful for the opportunities life has provided, the Greggs are strong believers in action in giving back to the community.

The Chick and Lisa Gregg Endowed Scholarship provides tuition and book assistance to Seminole State students pursuing a degree in construction or engineering. Students must possess a minimum GPA of 2.5, demonstrate financial need, and describe their plans to continue their education after the completion of their associate degree.
