GE AVIATION

In 2022, GE Aviation reignited the distribution of eight high school graduate student scholarships from the Greater Cincinnati African American Scholarship Fund (GCAASF), administered by the GCF. GE partnered with Procter & Gamble and other local companies in 2002 to create the GCAASF. The fund originally awarded scholarships to more than 230 local students at 83 different universities between 2002 and 2014.
