New GHC Foundation Completion Scholarships!

New GHC Foundation Completion Scholarships!

(Your GHC Foundation contributions at work)

Through the generous support of our GHC Foundation donors, many of whom are Faculty and Staff, we have been able to create new scholarship opportunities for our GHC students designed to help them complete their degree!!  This incredible opportunity has been made possible by donations to our GHC Foundation Unrestricted (Charger) Fund.

As we pilot these new scholarships this summer, we will be releasing a total of 20 scholarships, $250 each, for a total of $5,000 in awards for summer semester.  Students will be able to apply through AwardSpring by establishing an account through the following link: https://highlands.awardspring.com

I hope you will share this information with students, and encourage them to apply for summer semester!
