GCREA Support Programs

Scholarship

Scholarship Program

The generous contributions of GCREA members helped us reach our Scholarship goal. From contributions generated by the Scholarship Fund Drive, held during past years, we are now able to take out $2,000 each year for two scholarships without endangering our investment. These monies are held in Vanguard Wellesley Mutual Income Fund, Southern Company and Brand Bank. Donations are always welcome. Send to Beverly Dryden, Treasurer.
