Scholarships to a four-year college/university or a two-year technical/trade school will be awarded in amounts ranging from $500 – $2,000. All graduating seniors meeting the eligibility requirements may submit a scholarship application. If chosen as a recipient, scholarships will be awarded as a one-time tuition reimbursement to recipient or institution of choice. Recipients must show proof of payment made to the institution in order to receive their scholarship. If scholarship is to be paid directly to university/college, confirmation of the student’s enrollment at the institution of choice must be provided even if the school has not officially billed the student for classes. Recipients may attend any accredited four-year college or university, two year college or technical/trade school program. Recipients must be enrolled full time at 12 hours per semester. GBRA scholarships are awarded without regard to race, sex, gender, national origin, disability or religion.
