SCHOLARSHIPS

Each year, the MetGCSA awards scholarships to family of members that meet criteria determined by the Scholarship Committee. Their goal is to award Scholarships based solely on the merits of the applicant’s ability to demonstrate their skills based on academic records, ambition, activities, appearance of application, and maturity. Each complete application goes through an extensive process to determine if he/she has met these requirements.
