Student Selection:

  
A Rigorous Student Selection and Working Process:

  1. Typically, the teacher and/or the school principal
      initiates contact with GCSF, nominating students,
      explaining why they should be considered for the
      scholarship.
  2. To make an evaluation for granting the scholarship,
      GCSF volunteers travel at their own expense to the often
      impoverished neighborhoods to interview the nominated
      students, their parents, teachers and schools principal, and
      to witness the students’ living condition.
  3. The scholarship is granted based on the following
      guidelines: academic achievements and GPA; the financial
      condition of the family; recommendation from teachers
      and school principal; and student’s willingness to help other
      students.
  4. Once the scholarship is granted, a GCSF academic
      representative is assigned to work with the student for one
      academic year. Funds are provided to the parents on a
      monthly basis under the supervision of the assigned GCSF
      academic representative.

There are three categories of students that GCSF may consider providing scholarships or any financial assistance.
