About this scholarship

The GE-Reagan Foundation Scholarship awards $10,000 a year, renewable for four years, to high school seniors who demonstrate leadership, drive, and integrity at work, school, or in the community. U.S. citizens with a 3.0 GPA who plan to enroll full-time at an accredited four-year school may apply. Financial need is considered. This sits in the same season as Coca-Cola — file both if you have the leadership record. The essays should name the thing you ran, not a list of clubs.
