As America reflects on President Reagan's accomplishments during the Centennial of his birth, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and GE are proud to launch the GE-Reagan Foundation Scholarship Program. Honoring the legacy and character of our nation's 40th President, this program rewards college-bound students who demonstrate exemplary leadership, drive, integrity, and citizenship with financial assistance to pursue higher education.
Before he inspired a nation, Ronald Reagan worked for GE as host of a weekly television series and goodwill ambassador. With a generous $15 million grant, GE is the presenting sponsor of the Centennial Celebration, a two-year-long commemoration of President Reagan's 100th birthday. Through the generous support of GE, this national program rewards up to 20 students a year with a renewable scholarship of $10,000 annually (potentially up to $40,000 per recipient). GE-REAGAN FOUNDATION SCHOLAR CANDIDATES MUST: * demonstrate exemplary leadership, drive, integrity, and citizenship at school, at home, at the workplace, and within the community; * be nominated by an eligible community leader, such as a high school principal, elected official or executive director of a nonprofit organization; * be recommended by an authority figure, such as a student activity advisor, community service coordinator, coach, employer, teacher, counselor, or religious leader; * demonstrate strong academic performance (3.0 or greater GPA or equivalent); demonstrate financial need; * be a citizen of the United States of America; * graduate from high school in Winter 2010 or Spring 2011; and * use scholarship funds for student tuition, room, and board while pursuing a bachelor's degree at an accredited U.S. college or university in Fall 2011.
