Scholarships and College Planning for Girl Scouts

Staying in Girl Scouts can help you build your college resume and improves your eligibility for many scholarships. Activities done through Girl Scouts (not just by earning your Gold Award) can be the foundation when applying for many scholarships.

Scholarships

Scholarships are available on multiple levels within Girl Scouts. Our neighborhood sponsors a grant for service and the council offers scholarships to Gold Award recipients.  

Applications for council scholarships are sent to all girls after they have earned their Gold Award.  Council has also compiled a list of scholarships available to all girls here.

Nationwide, hundreds of schools and organizations offer scholarships to Girl Scouts.  There is a searchable list on the GSUSA website.  

ASU and U of A
