Scholarships & Financial Aid

GHS is fortunate to have many community partners offering scholarships exclusively to our seniors. Because eligibility requirements and award amounts vary, we encourage you to explore every opportunity. These local awards are often less competitive than national scholarships, making them a fantastic resource for our students. Our current season for collecting applications is now closed. The 2026-2027 scholarship season will begin in January of 2027.
