Each year, the Gulf Coast Region awards scholarships of $2,000 each to selected students who are dependents of GCR members. Dependents of officers and principals (owners, partners, etc.) are not eligible. Each applicant must be scholastically qualified for acceptance at an accredited educational institution designed to meet the requirements for an academic, professional, or occupational degree. Each applicant also must need financial aid to attend the school. Each GCR scholarship is good for a full academic year; no part-time semesters are accepted. The long-running GCR scholarship program operates under the auspices of the William A. Bushman Memorial Scholarship Fund. Click HERE for a complete copy of the GCR Scholarship Eligibility & Guidelines information.
