Gee Family Association Education Fund 2026 Scholarship Application

Annually, the Gee Family Association Education Fund (GFAEF) will award a number of scholarships. The GFAEF Board of Directors will determine the number and amount of each scholarship based on the funds available. The scholarship awards generally range from $1,000 to $5,000. Funds come from endowed funds and direct donors/sponsors.

PURPOSE: To ensure the education of our youth beyond the high school level and others who are continuing their education dedicated toward community service.
