Formal Wear Donations Sought For Gold Award

For my Gold Award, I am creating a prom closet of gently used formal wear (dresses but also items for boys) for special needs kids at Hacienda Health Care.  Shoes, purses, nail polish, make-up and hair accessories are also greatly appreciated for special needs kids of all ages. Bring your donations to the Neighborhood Meeting each month. 

Monetary donations to Troop 2256 will be used to purchase items at second-hand stores.

Pima Neighborhood Scholarship

Pima Neighborhood offers a $1,000 non-renewable scholarship.  The Pima Neighborhood Scholarship recognizes an outstanding graduating high school Girl Scout Ambassador  registered in Pima Neighborhood, who has been active in Girl Scouting and provided service to Pima Neighborhood. The girl who earns this scholarship is a dedicated Girl Scout who has shown leadership, service, and commitment to the values of Girl Scouting in all areas of her life.  The Girl Scout Gold Award will enhance a candidate’s chances, but it is not a requirement.  High school grades will also be taken into account.

The application  contains all of the instructions and requirements for this scholarship.  Both the form and the deadline are different than they were in previous years, so please be sure to use the correct application form and due date. 

PLEASE NOTE:

For girls graduating this year (2015), applications are due no later than March 15.arch 15.  

For girls graduating next year (2016), applications are due August 31.

The due dates are approaching.  Should you wish to apply, I recommend that you review the requirements ASAP so that you may secure letters of recommendation and transcripts before the deadline.

Best wishes from the Pima Neighborhood Scholarship Committee.
