The Greenwich Scholarship Association’s 44th annual scholarship evening took place in the Greenwich High School performing arts center on Thursday, June 9.
Each year, GSA awards need-based scholarships from local sponsors to graduating students in an effort to bridge the gap between college costs and family ability to pay. Financial need demonstrated by the Student Aid Report resulting from a FAFSA application is a prerequisite for consideration and matching with any scholarship from GSA. This year, GSA will connect 114 students with scholarships from 110 sponsors totaling $545,584.
The GSA hopes to ease the financial burden for qualified expenses (tuition, room boad and mandatory fees) of the first year of recipients undergraduate education.
Of the students receiving scholarships on Thursday night, some received individual awards starting at $750. Others were called up multiple times and received numerous awards.The number and amount of awards is based on factors including the individual financial aid packages the students have received from their chosen schools.
