Greater Cincinnati African American Scholarship Fund

Greater Cincinnati African American Scholarship Fund

GE Aerospace announced today that the application process is open for scholarships through the Greater Cincinnati African American Scholarship Fund (GCAASF). These scholarships are for high school seniors in the Greater Cincinnati Area. Up to ten scholarships ranging from $2,000 to $10,000 will be awarded for the 2025-2026 academic year.

In 2002, GE’s African American Forum employee resource group partnered with businesses throughout Greater Cincinnati to form the GCAASF, administered by Greater Cincinnati Foundation. Between 2002 and 2014, the fund provided scholarships to more than 230 local students who attended 83 different universities.

GE Aerospace relaunched the program in 2021, awarding $170,000 in scholarships to 24 local students over the last three academic years.

“Supporting these scholarships is an investment in a brighter future for all.”
