Overview
Mission
Empowering college-bound women in middlesex and new london counties by providing scholarships to those who demonstrate financial need, academic excellence, and strong personal references. Our goal is to support their educational journey and help them achieve their fullest potential.
What it reported doing in 2025
Provided eight (8) 5,000 grants for undergraduate women pursuing an associate or baccalaureate degree and live in middlesex or new london county who demonstrate exceptional potential, academic achievement, dilligence, and a pressing need for financial assistance. The scholarship selection committee members independently review all completed applications and evaluate each candidate based on their college transcript, including spring semester grades, the fafsa summary form (free application for federal student aid), and two references. The fafsa summary form helps the committee compare the financial need of applicants and determine eligibility for financial assistance. The committee currently consists of seven individuals who will use our new scholarship application review platform, reviewr, to carefully assess and rate all applicants to identify the strongest candidates.
