Overview

Mission

The primary purposes of the organization are (1)to make grants to other 501(c)(3)organizations and (2) to grant college scholarships to deserving female students who have overcome significant challenges in their lives.

What it reported doing in 2012

Scholarships to women-- the organization provides at least one new college scholarhsip in the amount of 10,000 each year (each chapter) to a gradudating female high school student. The eligibility criteria for scholarship candidates require female students to maintain a 2.0 grade point average, reside in the chapter state, plan to attend a four year undergraduate program, and have demonstrated a financial need. Each scholarship recipient will be selected primarily based on her ability to overcoe challenges or hardships in her life as well as her financial need. The annual scholarship grant, as described above, may be renewed for three years following the initial award. Scholarship grants will be paid directly to the educational institutions, which agree to (1) use the funds to defray the recipient's educational expenses or to pay the funds (or a portion thereof) to the scholarship recipient only if she is enrolled at such educational institution and is in good academic standing, and (2)promptly return any unused funds.
