This is a pretty big deal. This endowment will cover the remaining tuition after other grants, scholarships are applied to ALL GCS graduates that graduate from a public high school. If the student is enrolled from 6th grade on at a public school, the endowment will cover 100%. From 9th grade on, it will cover 75%, etc.
