GEF Scholarships

We have some very good news for you and your students. The GEF will be offering 9 Scholarships this year.

The deadline has been extended to April 22, 2011 to allow more time for students application and essay entries.

Students may apply for one or for all, and must provide a transcript and the appropriate essay.

"We do not know the status of Grants for the coming year, but the number of students from your school will be a weighted measurement in the decision for the amount of grants. So, please encourage students to apply. They need to have a 3.0 GPA, send a transcript, and write a 300-500 word essay. Last year 5 students from Clemson earned the GEF scholarships, and some schools did not have any applicants, so please encourage them to apply."
