Global Scholars Foundation

Your child can travel overseas, and participate in the District’s Global Scholarship Foundation program. GSF concentrates on finding a diverse group of District teenagers who express interest in foreign language skills development, are curious about other cultures, and who are enthusiastic about our high commitment learning process.

Students can complete the application online at www.globalscholarsfoundation.org.   The program is SYEP host site, which means students can get paid to work with us for the summer.

Executive Director, Marcia K. Brown, Ph.D. addressed Penn Branch residents last year, and encourages Ward 7 youth to apply.
