The Girl Friends Fund, Inc. (“The Fund”) brings dreams to life by providing scholarships and mentoring to high-achieving, African-American students who face significant financial obstacles in their path toward a college education.
We recognize the limits of financial aid, hence the goal of our scholarship program is to offset expenses associated with tuition, books, and housing. Awards for $1500 are presented each Spring to a select group of graduating high school seniors, nominated by chapters of The Girl Friends®, Inc, who plan to attend an accredited four-year institution. The $1500 award is renewable for up to four years, provided the student continues to satisfy eligibility requirements.
The Fund is a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization supported through generous, tax deductible donations from members of The Girl Friends®, Inc., corporate sponsors and the general public. All members of The Girl Friends®, Inc. are members of “The Fund”.
