Big News!
Due to the ever increasing costs of a college education, the GAR Board has generously voted to increase the amount of our scholarship from a maximum of $50,000 to a maximum of $60,000 ($15,000 per year max).

Applications for students who will be high school seniors in 2025 will begin being accepted on September 18, 2025. Completed applications must be received no later than Thursday, February 19, 2026.

College scholarship money is available to offspring of those working in the financial services industry. Each GAR scholarship is awarded to bright, hardworking high school seniors who have a financial need.
Please read the requirements and fill out an application form. The Gordon Rich Foundation provided approximately $300,000 in college scholarships last year. We currently support 28 students in colleges across the country and have 107 alumni. Any questions please email info@gordonrich.org.

Our annual fundraising event will be held in NYC on Thursday, October 23, 2025.
Board members, current GAR scholars, GAR scholar graduates and many supporters are all invited. For details please contact info@gordonrich.org.
