Remember the excitement of moving into your college dorm, decorating your new space, and the thrilling feeling of independence? For many high school graduates, this pivotal transition marks the beginning of an incredible journey toward their future careers. This week, the Greenwood Education Foundation (GEF) is thrilled to support our students as they embark on this adventure by awarding $22,500 in scholarships to Greenwood graduates from the class of 2024!
These scholarships play a crucial role in alleviating the financial burden of college tuition, enabling our students to focus on their education and dreams. We are immensely proud of this year’s recipients and are excited to see the positive impact they will make in their respective fields.
A heartfelt congratulations goes out to Chad Neiman Memorial Foundation for their outstanding fundraising success this past year. Thanks to their efforts, eight scholarships of $1,000 were awarded in Neiman's honor! This incredible achievement not only supports our students but also keeps the memory of Greenwood alum Chad Neiman alive. We commend the dedication and hard work of everyone involved in this initiative!
In addition to our traditional scholarships, 2024 marks a special milestone with the introduction of our first Transition to Trades Scholarship. This scholarship is designed to promote the skilled trades industry and strengthen workforce development right here in Greenwood. Congratulations to Ishani S., our first Transition to Trades Scholarship winner! A huge thank you to T&W Corp. for helping to fund this scholarship and for their commitment to fostering talent in the trades.
The GEF is deeply committed to empowering our students and supporting their educational journeys. Scholarships like these not only provide financial assistance but also inspire our students to reach for their dreams and make a difference in their communities.
We look forward to following the journeys of our scholarship recipients and celebrating their future successes. Thank you to all our donors, supporters, and community members who make these scholarships possible. Together, we are making a lasting impact on the lives of our students and the future of Greenwood.
Congratulations once again to all our scholarship winners! Keep striving for greatness and know that your community is cheering you on every step of the way!
