MIAMI – Miami Carnival Inc. has established a Scholarship to honor the memory of the late Selman Lewis. Selman stood as an example for the community – excelling in the promotion, marketing and production of Miami Carnival and other Carnivals throughout the diaspora,and promoting the culture of his beloved native land, Trinidad & Tobago. Scholarships such as this are critical to the immediate and long term health of our Caribbean students.

The Scholarship Fund is hosted by Dade Community Foundation. The Advisory Board for the Fund includes representatives of the Dade Community Foundation and also includes Selman’s widow, Janet, as well as Jerry Nagee, well-known for her contributions to our community over the years.
