Globalization Academy Philanthropy Fund (“GAP Fund”)

Program Intent and Goals:

The GAP Fund has been established to provide financial assistance to Globalization Academy families in need so that all students have the opportunity to participate in experiences outside of the classroom. These experiences have a profound impact on the development of our students and our goal is to minimize the financial barrier for participation.  For approved applications, the GAP Fund will provide payment for annual dues and payment for up to three same-day local events per school year.

Application and Award Granting Process

  • GAP Fund Criteria:
    •  All requests for support are subject to approval by the Treasurer and President.
