The Beacon
The Genoa Scholarship Foundation, which was established in 1991 to improve the quality of education for students of Genoa Area Local Schools, is celebrating its 30th year of providing scholarships to graduating seniors.
Run entirely by volunteers, The Genoa Area Local Schools Scholarship Foundation has more than exceeded expectations. The Foundation over the past 30 years has grown to $1 million in assets that benefit the students in Genoa Area Local Schools.
There are currently 43 individual scholarship funds that offered 69 scholarships in 2020, a huge increase from the 31 scholarships offered just 10 years ago, or the 24 presented 15 years ago. In addition, at least 14 scholarships are given annually by various local businesses, organizations and individuals in conjunction with the Foundation.
