💙🎓 And that’s a wrap for the Gananda Dollars for Scholars Class of 2026! 🎓💙

Tonight was a powerful reminder of what makes our community so special.

Because of the generosity of our scholarship sponsors, families, faculty, community members, and supporters, nearly $52,000 in scholarships was awarded to 24 deserving students. These students represent the very best of Gananda — leaders, volunteers, athletes, scholars, and community-minded individuals who work hard, give back, and strive to make a difference.

At Gananda Dollars for Scholars, our mission is to help students pursue their educational dreams while celebrating the values that make our community strong. Tonight, that mission came to life in a truly inspiring way.

To every donor, sponsor, volunteer, educator, family member, and supporter: thank you. Your generosity is more than a scholarship—it is an investment in a student’s future, a vote of confidence in their potential, and a reminder that an entire community believes in them.

Tonight, because of you, 24 students will take their next steps with a little more support and a lot more encouragement.

We are humbled, grateful, and incredibly proud to be part of a community that continues to invest in the next generation.

💙 Thank you for helping dreams take flight. Thank you for making a difference.

This meaningful scholarship is awarded to a goal-oriented senior who demonstrates a positive work ethic and plans to continue their education. It also honors the values Mr. Cirillo was known for — integrity, compassion, open-mindedness, fairness, and the courage to stand up for others.

We are incredibly grateful for the lasting impact this scholarship has on our students and for the support and encouragement it provides year after year. Scholarships like this help shape not only futures, but also the character and spirit of our Gananda community.
