Each year, the GAF awards several scholarships to graduating seniors. The scholarships apply to an accredited college, university, community, or trade school. The GAF looks for well-rounded, community-involved students seeking to further their education. Scholarships are announced at Senior Awards night each spring. In the 2025-26 school year, 12 scholarships of $2,500 each were awarded.
