GE-Ronal Reagan Foundation Scholarships

In 2011, we’re proud to introduce the GE-Reagan Foundation Scholarships, which will reward up to 20 students each year with $10,000 a year, for up to four years.
Details about the scholarship and how to apply can be found here.

In order to earn one of the scholarships, students must demonstrate that they exhibit the values of Ronald Reagan: leadership, drive, integrity and citizenship. In addition to providing information regarding their academic, financial and extracurricular backgrounds, students will be required to secure a nomination from a community leader and an academic recommendation, and write a 500-750 word essay on the following subject:

Before he became America’s 40th president, Ronald Reagan pursued leadership roles to inspire and advocate for those around him. Describe how your leadership and service has made a positive difference in your school, in your community, in your family and/or on the job, and how it will continue to make a difference in college and beyond.
