Earn rewards to persue higher education
How awesome is this? Being a Girl Scout makes you eligible for more scholarships! We know how hard you’ve worked to make the world a better place and we’re excited to support you in your continued leadership journey!
Our council is pleased to offer three (3) scholarships valued at $1,000 each for further education to a graduating high school senior in our council. One (1) scholarship is the Girl Scouts of Ohio’s Heartland Scholarship, and the two (2) other scholarships being awarded are the Kathleen L. Elich Memorial Scholarship. One common application for both opportunities is available below.
