GRASP Last Dollar Scholarships
Students who attend one of the high schools served by GRASP, and who have met with their GRASP advisor, are eligible to apply. These scholarships help meet the cost of books, computers or other expenses not covered by a student’s financial aid package. The generosity of our corporate and individual donors makes Last Dollar Scholarships possible, enabling students to attend the college or technical program to which they have been accepted.
