Garden Grove High School Alumni Association
Preserving the legacy of the Garden Grove High School Argonauts
 

The GGHSAA Scholarship Program is under the coordination of the GGHSAA Scholarship Committee and annually provides scholarships to Garden Grove High School graduating seniors.

 

Each year, the GGHSAA provides scholarships funded from Membership dues, merchandise proceeds, and monetary donations. Also, GGHSAA’s Scholarship Committee extends the invitation to Alumni to assist in providing scholarships.

 

Since its inception in 1998, the GGHSAA Scholarship Program has awarded $74,600 in total scholarships to 80 recipients through 2024.

 

If you would like to donate to the Scholarship Fund or if you would like to set up a scholarship as an Individual, Family or Class for the next Scholarship Program, please email Dave Ternullo at:
