INTENT OF THE CONTINUING EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIPS (CES)
 These CES Scholarships are intended to encourage GC-HEAT Homeschooled athletes to continue their
participation in home school athletics...and...their personal educational pursuits after they graduate
from high school. Our intent is to assist these students with any appropriately related expenses.
 These CES Scholarships can be applied to any additional certifiable educational training or expenses
of almost any kind (all traditional public or private universities or colleges, trade schools, community
colleges, and/or a broad range of other special interest additional training options). The intent is to
be inclusive, and any unanticipated borderline situations will be resolved by the then presiding
GC-HEAT leadership Committee!
 These CES Scholarships are specifically NOT for ongoing, current pre-high school graduation
educational expenses...and/or...for any other personal, non-continuing institutional educational
purposes (i.e., cars, computers, musical instruments etc.)
ONLY STUDENT/ATHLETES FROM GC-HEAT MEMBER FAMILIES ARE ELIGIBLE TO WIN A CES SCHOLARSHIP?

appropriate amounts of any CES Scholarship grants (that are won but not paid out immediately).
