The Gori Regional Educational Fund is pleased to announce that on December 9th, 2008, it will recognize 10 student winners with GREF scholarships. These 10 students will receive tuition scholarships for the Spring 2009 semester at Gori University and will represent a broad cross-section of the GU student body, including Master's and Bachelor's students from all three faculties. During the application process in November, 139 students submitted applications and 20 semi-finalists were invited back for interviews with GREF volunteer staff. The 10 finalists were chosen by a 3-member selection committee. The December 9th event will coincide with the opening of a new training center at GU, sponsored by the United States Embassy.
The Gori Regional Education Fund has also forged a partnership with the Bank of Georgia and will be one of the featured charity organizations eligible to receive donations on the Bank of Georgia website, where donors can contribute even less than 1 Georgian lari ($.64) using their Bank of Georgia card. GREF has planned other fundraising initiatives stateside, including presentations to churches and Rotary Clubs in RPCV home states. The organization's leadership is very grateful to the local Georgian volunteer staff, including students from the University of Georgia, who have helped to lead this effort and have volunteered their time so tremendously.
