Academic scholarships to encourage strong grades

This scholarship aims to encourage strong academic performance and educational access, especially for international students who are not eligible for federal or government aid (grants, scholarships). As a result of increased cost for an international education, international students are met with financial barriers and often struggle to complete their education.
GK Folks Academic Scholarship grants up to $3,000 for the academic year.
