Success is not defined by who has or owns the most. The Gail Devers Foundation, Inc. offers a scholarship program to youth seeking higher education which enables them to be competitive in the job market.

The scholarship program was launched in June of 2000 providing monetary assistance estimating nearly $5,000 to qualified recipients. The inaugural participating school was Sweetwater Union High School in National City, CA where three recipients were chosen. In the future, through corporate sponsors, the Gail Devers Foundation, Inc., will distribute scholarships in schools throughout the country.

Traditional scholarship programs ask for applicants to submit essays and the "best" writer wins. The Gail Devers Foundation deviates from the norm. We have a criterion that is not based solely on an applicant’s ability to express on paper their understanding of a topic; but rather, a criterion that involves both the students proven academic ability and their behavior as positive role models in their respective school and community.

The Gail Devers Foundation Scholarship Program enlists the help of County Counselors, School Counselors, and community leaders to select counties and schools for scholarship consideration. From the student applications we receive, we consider grades, financial need, behavior, and dedication to school/community.
