Dear Ambassador Girl Scout,
As you prepare for graduation and the exciting next chapter ahead, we want to remind you that being a Girl Scout means you are part of a lifelong sisterhood. Long after your final troop meeting, you remain connected to a network of women and dedicated volunteers who believe in you and are cheering you on.
We’re delighted to share an opportunity created with girls like you in mind: the William & Ida Kiefer Memorial Scholarship. Established to support “deserving students in Essex and Hudson counties wishing to further their post-high school education,” this scholarship is designed to help you take the next step toward your goals.
What makes this opportunity especially meaningful is its flexibility. The scholarship may be used for any post-high school education—not just a traditional four-year college. Whether you are pursuing technical school, culinary arts, cosmetology, a certification program, or another accredited training path, we encourage you to apply. Your dreams matter, and we are proud to support the many paths our Girl Scouts choose.
Applications may be completed and submitted by clicking here.
If you have any questions, we are here to help. Please feel free to reach out to us at Scholarship@gshnj.org. We are so proud of all you have accomplished as a Girl Scout and can’t wait to see where your journey takes you next.
With warm wishes and encouragement,
Joie Langford
VP Strategic Philanthropy
Girl Scouts Heart of New Jersey
