Make A Gift
On behalf of the Guardian Scholars Program (GSP) staff, and scholars, we would like to say “Thank You” for your generous donation to our program. Your donation helps GSP scholars with unmet financial needs.
A few of these unmet needs are assistance with the purchase of their textbooks, utility bills, medical/vehicle repair expenses, travel expenses to family/support system who have taken ill, certificate programs to help launch students further reach their education goals, reimbursement of graduation regalia, housing/move-in deposits, and scholarships.
