The Griswold Family Association Scholarship has been created in
order to financially help a GFA family member with expenses
incurred with a post high school education. We will award three $1000
scholarships for the 2011-12 school year to students who meet the requirements as
stated below. Completed applications are due by March 31st 2011.
Changes in Scholarship policy were approved at our August meeting:
applicants must be a member or child of a member. Grandparents and other
relatives are encouraged to pass the scholarship information and
membership application on to their family members. We will continue to
award three $1000 scholarships: awards will be made on basis of
financial need and academic achievement, with consideration given to
community service and Extra Credit submissions.
All applications must be submitted to Amy Ryan-Day by the deadline of
March 31, 2011.
