NU Online News Service, Sept. 15, 2003, 1:17 p.m. EDT – The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America, New York, has announced it will be offering the Girls Going Places College Scholarship Program for the fourth year in a row.
The program, which is part of the Guardian’s Women’s Initiative, recognizes girls between the ages of 12 and 16 who demonstrate exceptional entrepreneurship.
Guardian will offer three top scholarship prizes for $10,000, $5,000 and $3,000, and 12 finalist prizes of $1,000 each.
Guardian is asking adults to nominate candidates by submitting 1,000-word essays on why the girls deserve the scholarships.
A panel of judges will award scholarships to nominees who have demonstrated entrepreneurship or financial acumen; have taken the first steps toward financial independence; make a difference in their schools or communities; and show potential for future success.
