Transitioning from high school to college can be a significant challenge for young women pursuing higher education.
This transition becomes even more of a struggle for women who don’t have the financial means, the confidence, or the guidance necessary to support them throughout their higher education journeys. From adapting to a new environment, forging new friendships, maintaining grades, leaving one’s home, and going through new relationships and heartbreaks, college can be stressful.
With all of these other obstacles to encounter, the last thing students need is the stress that comes with worrying about college funding.
This scholarship aims to support young women who are embarking on the transition from high school to college so they have the resources necessary to complete their degrees.
Any female undergraduate or high school senior in Louisiana or Texas who has non-profit, volunteering, and/or community service experience may apply for this scholarship. The first-place winner will receive $1,000 and the runner-up will receive $500.

Award checks will be sent to the financial aid office of the winner's academic institution or future academic institution in their name to be applied to their tuition, and in the name of their institution (depending on the school's requirements). If the award is for a qualified educational non-tuition expense, we will work with the winner directly to distribute the award and make sure it goes towards qualified expenses.
Before we award the scholarship, the winner will be required to confirm their academic enrollment status. Depending on the circumstances, verification of Student ID and/or their most recent transcript will be required.
