Cap & Career Scholarship

Educated Girls Rock

The Educated Girls Rock Cap & Career Scholarship Fund was established to support graduating students as they pursue their next chapter through college, university, trade school, or military service.

Our mission is to help remove financial barriers while encouraging students to dream boldly, pursue excellence, and walk confidently in their purpose.

More than a scholarship, this fund is an investment in future leaders who are committed to making a positive impact in their communities and beyond.

It was built to help bridge the gap between education and career by providing financial support to students who are ready to grow, learn, and walk boldly in their purpose. We believe every young woman deserves the opportunity to succeed — regardless of her starting point. This fund honors students who are determined to keep going, keep learning, and keep striving for excellence. Rooted in faith and fueled by purpose, the Cap & Career Scholarship Fund represents more than financial assistance — it represents hope, opportunity, and legacy in motion. With God’s favor, what starts as a seed will grow into a lasting impact for generations of young women pursuing their dreams. 🔑 Being Educated is the Source, Learning is the Process, and Excellence is the Desired Outcome. Let’s make your cap and career goals a reality! 💸 Award Amount: Recipient will be awarded a $1,000 scholarship to support their educational journey. 📅 Application Period: May 1st, 2026 – June 30th, 2026 📧 Contact: info@educatedgirlsrock.org
