Each year high school seniors, whose parents are members of the Grandmont Community Association, are eligible to apply for scholarships given by the GCA for post secondary education. Scholarship Applications are available in The Grandmonitor each spring. After completing all the requirements outlined on the application, the applications are submitted to the committee. The Scholarship Committee carefully processes each scholarship application in order to make a determination of award.

Did you know that Grandmont Community Association (GCA) has been awarding scholarships to our high school graduates since 1997?
Ever since 2015, the GCA scholarship has been funded through the Art Fair and donations.
Since the first Scholarship was awarded in 1997 we have had forty one Grandmont Scholars that have received this award. Last year we did not have an Art Fair so that source of funding was not available.
All of us, as well as the general public, greatly admire the accomplishments of our 2018 Honorees, Rebekah Long and Ria Reno. On Saturday, December 29, 2018 at the Grandmont Rosedale Development Corporation, 19800 Grand River Avenue, a reception was celebrated in their honor with family, friends, and community members.

As I get older, I begin to understand the relevance, significance, and importance that revolves around obtaining an education. Education provides knowledge about the world, which paves the way to a better understanding of different walks of life. It gives me a perspective of looking at situations other than how I would initially like to see them. I have come to the realization that education is taught by life itself, but with this in mind, it is all about how I efficiently utilize what it is given to me to ensure my success.
“When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you’ll be successful” – Eric Thomas. A family saying in my household, encouraging my sister and me into becoming great students in all forms of schooling. Back in 2012, my mom first told me about this when I was going through a rough time completing a school year. Since then, this quote is the reason I finished senior year, and continue to push harder.
