SCHOLARSHIP
PROGRAM
In 2001, the Glaser Family Charitable
Foundation was organized in Ector, Texas in order to benefit not only the people and
charity organizations of Fannin
County, but also
charities nationwide. The Glaser's deep faith in God and their belief
that education is a key to success in life were both driving forces behind
the formation of the scholarship program.
The Glaser Family Charitable Foundation
scholarship program seeks to identify and support students who combine
academic promise with character and a commitment to their community. It
is interested in assisting individuals to develop their talents, broaden
their horizons, and fulfill their dreams through educational success.
