Scholarships

Girl Scouts are recognized around the country as being strongly-driven, self-motivated and high-achieving individuals. At GSCTX, we aim to recognize these fabulous ladies with the Founder’s Scholarship. Do you have questions about the Founder’s Scholarship? Contact Melissa Green, Programs and Teen Mentor Specialist, at MelissaG@gsctx.org.
