The GTE Foundation Scholarship is offered to high school seniors and undergraduates. The applicant must be a member (free membership) of GTE Financial and be the primary account holder at the time of application. Winners are chosen based on academic achievement (at least a 2.0 GPA), demonstration of leadership abilities, and their commitment to community service and activities. Students that exemplify these traits are encouraged to apply. Applications are accepted every year from February through June, with winners announced in August.
