Scholarships

Since 1989, Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida, Inc. Board of Directors has awarded college scholarships to graduating high school senior Girl Scouts!  Girl Scouting offers opportunities for girls to excel in skills, leadership, and citizenship.  The Board of Directors established the college scholarship fund to recognize young women for their achievements and academic successes, as well as to encourage them to continue their education.

Celebrating Our 2026 Scholarship Recipients

We are proud to celebrate the seven remarkable recipients of the 2026 Dr. Elinor Crawford Girl Scout College Scholarship (pictured L-R): Mackenzie S., Anna O., Audrey C., Juliana Meek, Board President, Alexa P.,  Julianne A., Kaylee J., Mary Anne Servian, CEO, and Catelyn H. (not pictured).

Recognized at this year’s Young Women of Distinction Ceremony, these outstanding Girl Scouts truly shine as leaders, scholars, and change-makers. Their achievements reflect the very best of Girl Scouting—courage, confidence, and character—and a bright future filled with possibility.

Congratulations to each of these inspiring young women. Your journey is just beginning, and we can’t wait to see all you will accomplish!

Please note, the 2026 scholarship program has closed. Check back in 2027 for updated program details.
