| The Directors of the GARBO
Scholarship Fund, Inc. accept and manage direct donations from the public
and through the funding efforts of the GARBO Social Club, Inc., a 501(c)(7)
entity with a long history of public service to its local constituents.
Both our organizations are equally proud of the scholarship program that
has been in existence since 1981. GARBO scholarship recipients1,
in addition to having graduated from a Montgomery or Frederick County
high school, are expected to be official residents of one of those counties
at the time of the award. GARBO scholarship recipients have no age floor,
but have a ceiling of age 23 as a continuously enrolled, college/trade
school undergraduate or student. Thousands of dollars have been donated
to deserving students in Montgomery and Frederick Counties. The Scholarship
Fund has been renamed in honor of five of our most dedicated members who
have passed on, Craig Hackey, Wellington Page, Eugene Plummer, Chester
Selby and Kenneth Ricks. Their Spirits will live in our hearts always. ____________________________________ 1 Recipients exclude GARBO family members, i.e., a child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships of any permanent, probationary, honorary, or suspended GARBO member. |
