The Gjergj Kastrioti Scholarship (GKS) Fund was founded in 1999 as an extension of the Albanian American Student Organization (AASO Global).
The goal is to provide scholarship support to Albanian-American youth that demonstrate a need and/or has maintained a history of superior academic achievement.
Gjergj Kastrioti Scholars must attend four-year Michigan colleges and universities.
MTSD is a day dedicated to community service in the Metro-Detroit area, honoring the Albanian Roman Catholic nun's legacy.
The event occurs annually and has gathered hundreds of student volunteers from around the state of Michigan.
