Applications are officially being accepted for the Teon Harvey Scholarship.

The GRTICN's Community Resilience Committee created the Teon Harvey Scholarship in 2024 to assist a rising 12th grader or student who has completed high school (or equivalent) and is entering community college, trade school, a 4 year university, or other continuing education opportunity to achieve the goal of a higher education. It was created to keep Teon's memory alive by investing in youth who are aspiring to create a positive path for themselves.

Learn more and apply on the Community Resilience Committee website.
