Just a reminder… School’s out during Thanksgiving Break and that’s a great time to work on college and scholarship essays and applications. Dec. 6 is the deadline for members of the Class of 2020 to apply for scholarships awarded through the GCPS Foundation Fund. Annually, the Foundation awards thousands of dollars in scholarships to GCPS seniors, funded through the support of local businesses and organizations and contributions from generous staff and community members. Last year, more than 130 graduating seniors earned $142,000 in district and school-specific scholarships administered through the Foundation. Find the 2020 GCPS Foundation Scholarship Catalog online. Scholarships range in value from $500 to $2,000 and most are one-time awards. The Foundation will announce scholarship recipients in May.
