The George J. Nader, Jr. “Remember, Your Education is Important” Memorial Scholarship Established at CFGC
The George J. Nader, Jr. “Remember, Your Education is Important” Memorial Scholarship was established at the CFGC by executors of his estate, which included teachers he taught with and previous students. George passed away in 2022. Born in Philadelphia, George received degrees from West Virginia University. His degrees were Pre-Med, a minor in Chemistry, and a Masters in English. He began his teaching career in Prince George’s County, Maryland where he taught English. Upon returning to PA, George taught at Fairchance, before becoming a Chemistry teacher at Waynesburg Central High School for 30 years. George retired from teaching in 2003 and remained a resident of Waynesburg. Often times George went the extra mile to assist the average student to reach their potential, and push them to excel.
It is with this in mind, knowing that George would have been excited that future students would be able to obtain the promise of a start on their post-secondary education, friends of George have established the George J. Nader, Jr. Memorial scholarship fund.
