SCHOLARSHIPS
The financial costs a family may inherit as a result of caring for a terminally ill mother, and then closing the chapters of her life, may impact her daughter's ability to pursue post-secondary opportunities. To off-set a small amount of the financial burden, Harriett’s Daughters will award educational scholarships to young women interested in going to college.
To be eligible for a Harriett's Daughters Scholarship, applicants must:
-
Be a U.S. citizen
-
Be a young woman in her senior of high school
-
Have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 on a 4.00 scale
-
Have a mother who is terminally ill with cancer, or a mother who has passed away from cancer
In addition to the general eligibility requirements, applicants will be asked to provide the following:
-
Two letters of recommendation (both letters must be written on official letterhead stationery)
-
An essay/personal statement (TBA)
-
Official academic transcript
We understand that figuring out how to pay for post-secondary education can be overwhelming.
