About This Opportunity
The Curry Award for Girls and Young Women was established by Eleanor Williams Curry, an active civic leader on the Peninsula. This scholarship provides financial support to young women who are self-motivated, need financial support, and attempt to achieve despite tremendous obstacles. The award is specifically designed for young women who have dropped out of school for reasons beyond their control or have undergone unusual hardships to remain in school. The selection committee considers circumstances related to possible ethnic or racial discrimination, physical disability, or the choice of a nontraditional area of study. This scholarship recognizes resilience and determination in the face of significant challenges, providing up to $1,000 to help young women pursue their educational goals at two- or four-year colleges or universities.
