Each year, Girls Inc. of the Greater Capital Region awards around $10,000 in college scholarships.
The William G. Broughton Fellowship for Outstanding Achievement
This scholarship is given to a present or former member of Girls Inc. in pursuing study in any field in which she/he has a developing talent or ability. This can be an academic pursuit (college, trade school, graduate school), an athletic skill (such as gymnastics camp) or an artistic or technical interest (such as computer training or music lessons). This scholarship will be awarded in May.
The Teri Bordenave Scholarship
The Board of Directors established this scholarship to honor long-time President and CEO, Teri Bordenave, who recognized the need for ongoing financial support for young women in college. Unlike traditional scholarships, which often only cover first-year expenses, this scholarship was specifically created to assist with the financial challenges that arise in the second and subsequent years of college—an often-overlooked period that can prevent many young women from completing their education. Teri’s vision ensures that support extends beyond the first year, helping to bridge the gap and empower more young women to achieve their academic goals.
The Dorothea E. Allen Scholarship
This scholarship was made possible through a bequest from Dorothea E. Allen, a dedicated supporter of Girls Inc., and is awarded to a current or former member who demonstrates exceptional promise and potential. This scholarship supports the pursuit of a course of study, special learning experience, or training program that enhances individual talents and contributes to the betterment of the community and country. All applicants will be invited to a personal interview, and the scholarship will be awarded in May.
The Anna C. Hume Scholarship
This scholarship was established through a bequest from long-time supporter Anna C. Hume and additional contributions from the Hume family, is designed to supplement traditional financial aid sources. Candidates for this scholarship will be invited to a personal interview.
