For the past ten years, GH&H has provided scholarships to underserved, high-achieving, college-bound high school seniors and nontraditional students, including adult single parents pursuing higher education. Each year, scholarship recipients are recognized, and their achievements are celebrated at the Education Is Your Passport Scholarship Awards. Since the scholarship program was established in 2015, we have awarded one hundred ten college scholarships, including six full-ride scholarships to MCC-Penn Valley, to college-bound students in our community.
