Scholarships Program

CAEEF was created in 2015 to benefit the students, staff and schools of the Crawford AuSable School District through college scholarships for seniors and grants for projects in pre-K-12th grade classrooms. Thanks to our generous donors, the scholarships program has been growing every year since it began:

In 2017, we awarded $4,000 to four GHS graduates.
In 2018, we awarded $8,500 to nine GHS graduates.
In 2019, we awarded $11,600 to nine GHS graduates.
In 2020, we awarded $12,200 to 15 GHS graduates.
In 2021, we awarded $23,000 to 17 GHS graduates.
In 2022, we awarded $57,500 to 17 GHS graduates and 1 undergraduate student.

TOTAL of all scholarships awarded as of spring 2022: $116,800
