girl scouts of the colonial coastIn addition to badges and awards earned through Girl Scouts, girls are often eligible for college scholarships due to their accomplishments in the Girl Scout program. The She Believes She Can So She Does scholarship was created for Girl Scouts of the Colonial Coast to provide support to girls pursuing higher education opportunities including vocational training and undergraduate education and is open to Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors in Girl Scouts of the Colonial Coast. This essay based $500 scholarship helps provide more opportunities for girls looking to further their skills and education all while fueling the leadership and workforce pipeline.
Last year’s scholarship awardee was Gold Award Girl Scout Jada Johnson. Jada’s 2021 Gold Award project, “Food is Medicine,” was sustained well beyond the project’s completion and to this day Jada advocates for healthy eating by sharing recipes and her cookbook, “ Food is Medicine: Nutritious and Delicious Recipes from My Home Shared with You.”
See a recent update about Jada and how she is continuing to support the community in healthy living from 13News Now here- https://bit.ly/3u06Xa2
