Awards
The GGC determines the amount available for awards on an annual basis. In past years, the club has awarded between $500 and $2,000 to eligible applicants. The total amount may be awarded to one applicant, or divided among multiple qualified applicants, at the club’s sole discretion. Factors that may affect the decision include the number of applications received and the merits of the applicants in a particular year.
We send an award notification to successful applicants, but we send the actual financial award directly to the college or technical school. It may be used for tuition, books, or other expenses that support the recipient’s education.
While not required, the GGC asks that scholarship recipients attend a club meeting and present a description of their program of study and its role in advancing their career goals.
