Scholarship available to Gold Award Girl Scouts

Baker University is proud to honor the hard work, determination, and character it takes to become a Gold Award Girl Scout by offering $1,000 scholarships that are renewable for up to nine semesters.

“Girl Scouts opens the door to great opportunities, including college scholarships,” said Joy Wheeler, CEO, Girl Scouts of NE Kansas and NW Missouri. “We are thrilled that Baker will offer this scholarship for all Gold Award Girl Scouts who attend their university.”

The Gold Award is the highest award a Girl Scout can earn. To earn the distinction, the Girl Scout must identify an issue, investigate that issue thoroughly, create a sustainable and measurable plan to address a root cause of that issue, and then educate and inspire others during the one to two years it takes to complete the project.

“Gold Award Girl Scouts use their courage, confidence, and character to make the world a better place,” said Danielle Jones Rease, vice president of advancement and enrollment management at Baker University. “Baker offers the perfect environment for these impressive young women to further develop their leadership skills.”
