Program Description
The Fugate Scholarship began in the October of 2006 in honor of the late Daniel Fugate, a Near West community and public school advocate, as part of a larger Learning Communities Initiative at George Washington Community High School (GWCHS).

Students committing to service at GWCHS must be available at least one weekday (or a combination of days) from 7:30 a.m–2:30 p.m. Students committing to service at one of the elementary schools must be available to serve at least one weekday (or a combination of days) between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
