The Gavalas-Kolanko Foundation (GKF) was established in 1999 by Nicholas B. Gavalas and Dr. Ronald Kolanko to help students with disabilities reach their secondary educational goals. GKF helps make “Education Within Reach” for South Carolina undergraduates pursuing a college education despite physical limitations. Since 1999, the GKF has awarded 52 scholarships to students at College of Charleston and Charleston Southern University.
