The private scholarship is open only to young women who are in the 11th or 12th grade and who are members of a Girls Inc. affiliate. Multiple scholarships are awarded each year and may be applied to tuition and expenses at any accredited 2- or 4-year college or university.
Girls Inc. is a non-profit organization that inspires all girls to be strong, smart, and bold through direct service and advocacy. Since 1993, Girls Inc. has awarded over $3.3 million in scholarships to hundreds of high school girls. The Scholars Program was created by Lucile Miller Wright, a long-time supporter of Girls Inc. and a pioneer aviator, who made a bequest from her estate to fund scholarships expressly for young women members.
Qualifying female high school seniors may apply by locating a Girls Inc. organization in their area by visiting www.girlsinc.org/findagirlsinc./girls-inc-usa-and-canada.html
The deadline for this scholarship is usually in OCTOBER of each year, and the award amount is usually $20,000.
