Subject: CGX Scholarship Program
Hello CG Retiree Reps! Below is the recent message re: CGX Scholarship Program. Please keep in mind that retiree dependents are eligible for this scholarship. As a side note, there are many nonappropriated (NAF) jobs available throughout the country working at CGX, MWR and CDCs. These jobs are posted at www.shopcgx.com. There are many benefits associated with these jobs and an it’s a great way for retirees (and any other applicant) to continue to be part of the CG Family….namely, full/part-time positions are eligible for a retirement plan, which vests at the 5 year mark!!
