Scholarship Sponsored by Glens Falls Foundation
The Glens Falls Foundation Gilberto and Lennetta Pesquera Fund offers scholarship grants for medical school education on an annual basis to assist qualified men and women who have graduated from local area schools and have successfully completed the first year of medical school. The current amount for each grant is $4,000 per year. Four grants will be awarded for each academic year. These grants are restricted to tuition, fees, books and supplies. The payments are remitted directly to the educational institution for credit to the student's account.
