| The
Gordon A. Rich Memorial Foundation (“GAR”) was created to
honor the memory of Gordon Rich. Gordon was an individual of extraordinary
talent, energy and persistence with a passion for life. He was extremely
bright, hard working, a superb athlete, an accomplished pianist, a master
chef and wine connoisseur, an advisor to corporations and their leaders
and a loving father and husband. His effusive personality combined with
a genuine interest in the well being of others yielded him a plethora
of friends from all walks of life.
GAR's mission is to award grants (based on need) to support a 4 year undergraduate college education of its recipients. The recipients of GAR scholarships are exceptionally
qualified high school students with demonstrated financial need whose
parents or guardians have, or had, a career in the financial services industry.
