Testimonials from Scholarship Recipients -
Six years ago I watched my brother walk across the stage, get his diploma, and say good-bye to the world of high school. Although he is a very talented and intelligent man, he could have earned so many more scholarships than he did, money from the Gulf County Scholarship Program being one of them. This inspired me to keep up with up my points early in high school. The system is so simple yet so rewarding! Five years later, when it was my turn to walk across the stage, I left with lots of scholarships to prepare me for the journey called college. One of the more significant scholarships I received came from the Gulf County Scholarship program.
Unlike most of the scholarships I received, the Gulf County Scholarship Program rewarded me with cash, instead of a check being sent directly to my university. This was a huge convenience when it came time to get ready to start school. There are so many incurred expenses the first few weeks of college that I was completely unaware of! It was such a blessing to have extra money to use during this time while the rest of my financial aid was being processed. The Gulf County Scholarship Program is a wonderful way to help college students get on their feet those first weeks of school. It was such a benefit to me when I came to college!
