FAQ

Q. May I participate GSE for part of the time and then quit a few days early to be in another program? What if there’s a family wedding?

The commitment to GSE is for the full number of scheduled days; therefore, you may not be excused for such activities. Remember, though, you will not have class on Saturday or Sunday. You will also have off the week of July 4.

Q. Will attending GSE enhance my scholarship opportunities?

Some colleges and universities within the state as well as some out-of-state art schools award financial aid over and above other scholarships for students who attended GSE for the full time. You will need to check with the financial aid officer at the institution where you wish to study to see if such a scholarship is offered. There is not a GSE Scholarship connected with the Governor’s Schools program itself.

Q. What will a day of GSE look like?

Q. If I participate in GSE as a sophomore will I be ineligible for GHA after my junior year?

You will not be ineligible to apply for GHA after attending GSE. In addition, if you attend GSE after your freshman year, you will still be eligible to apply for GSA as a sophomore.
