In 2016, the GFFN Scholarship Fund, Inc. established two $25,000 endowments, one at GMU and one at NVCC. For the 2017-18 academic year, a total of $8,500 was awarded to the six students: $1,000 for one Bette Carter Dance Award recipient from GMU; $1,500 each for three general scholarship recipients from GMU; and $1,500 each for two general scholarship for NVCC students.
