Scholarship Fund Contributions:
The Geneseo Migrant Center has provided financial assistance to students across the country with a recent or ongoing history of movement to obtain work in agriculture since the inception of its first scholarship fund in 1974. Over the years, the number and size of the Center’s scholarship offerings have grown thanks to the generosity of many individuals. These scholarships are supported solely by private contributions and small fundraising activities. In the most recent fiscal year (Oct. 1, 2008 – Sept. 30, 2009) over $68,000.00 was disbursed to encourage and support deserving migrant students in the pursuit of their educational goals. For a detailed summary of awards granted, see the linked report. The Geneseo Migrant Center is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization; therefore, donations to its scholarship funds are tax deductible.
