Scholarships

Encouraging our area’s youth to work hard and follow their dreams is the purpose behind the GVEC Scholarship Program. Scholarships are awarded each year to graduating high school seniors who want to continue their education at college or trade school.

Once scholarship recipients are selected, GVEC holds a recognition luncheon to celebrate their accomplishments along with their families and school administrators.
