The Jean Work Scholarship Fund was established specifically to help those families, and the fund could not exist without the support of GAIT’s volunteers and generous donors.

The scholarship fund is named in honor and memory of Jean Work, who was a dedicated volunteer, board member and PATH International Certified Instructor at GAIT.
