Ask Sam: Glammy Scholarships
Hello fellow GlamourGals, Happy New Year! For our first Ask Sam of the year, we’re going to be reviewing how any high school senior in a leadership position can apply for the Glammy Leadership Scholarships! Because before you know it, the applications will be due and we don’t want any GG senior to miss out on this opportunity!
The Glammy Scholarship Application Portal opens March 2023 (Official Date TBD)
But what are the Glammy Scholarships?
GlamourGals offers four high school leadership scholarships for 1,000 dollars each towards the college of your choosing! Any GG Leader holding an official leadership position on the GGChapters website can apply!
For graduating volunteers not holding a leadership position, applying for the Mary Weiford Outstanding Volunteer Award is as simple as writing a journal! Write a minimum 200 words on a GlamourGals experience that has impacted a resident's day or life and how that event or experience has affected your own life and title the journal Volunteer Award.
However, there are certain requirements every GlamourGal must fulfill in order to qualify for our Glammy scholarships:
1. Be a high school senior.
2. Plan to enroll in college full time or part time in the following Fall semester.
3. For GG Leaders, earn the Intergenerational Service Award for the current service year by completing 15 service hours and writing 5 journals.
The 15 service hours and 5 journals requirement is only applied to Leadership scholarship applicants, not volunteer.
The Intergenerational Service Award can be earned by all GlamourGals! Right on the front page of the chapters.glamourgals.org website is your Hot Pink Progress Bar that shows your progress towards earning that award.
The Intergenerational Service Award is recognition from us at GG National for your dedication to serving your community! It can be used on a resume to demonstrate your commitment to the program.
By earning the Intergenerational Service Award, you're also eligible to request a recommendation letter from GG National as well as a LinkedIn recommendation from Rachel Doyle herself, the founder and CEO of GlamourGals! Follow the link for more information on how to request a recommendation!
All awards are honored at the Hybrid Glammy Scholarship Awards ceremony.
For more information about how to apply for our scholarships, visit the Rewards page on the chapters.glamourgals.org website. Everyone has a chance to win!
GlamourGals Scholarship Applications close on April 2023 (Official Date TBD).
We at GG National are happy to review any application essays before you submit it through the official application portal as we are not involved in the judging process. If you have any questions or need help proofreading, please email amanda@glamourgals.org.
Good luck to all my GlamourGal seniors out there applying for scholarships!
