Empowering Caregivers Through Education
The Jean Griswold Foundation Scholarship Program
Where would we be without Caregivers? Their selflessness is astounding, yet they are often overlooked and underappreciated. The Jean Griswold Foundation is dedicated to supporting Caregivers, the backbone of the care industry. We provide educational scholarships so Care Professionals can further their training, enhance their skills, elevate their careers, and better assist the people they serve.
Our Summer 2024 Scholarship application window is now closed. Winners will be announced in July. In the meantime, consider donating to support Caregivers everywhere.
