Scholarships

Carl Sanken Scholar Danny Cox

Danny Cox headed off to college packing his enthusiasm, his love of chemistry and a Carl Sanken scholarship.

Is there a Carl Sanken scholarship in your future?

Mr. Sanken, a farmer from the Biscay area, was so impressed with the care he received from GRHS that he remembered us in his will. With his generous bequest, the Friends of GRHS Foundation established a scholarship fund to encourage and support students in medical fields.
