Interested in CREATING your OWN scholarship? 

There are 2 ways you can create a scholarship: sponsor or piggyback

By sponsoring a scholarship, any designated GACS member can win your scholarship.  While piggybacking a scholarship means that ONLY your company's employees or children of your employees can win your designated scholarship.

Either way, you can select the amount (minimum $1,000) and name(s) of the awards and customize the criteria.
