About the Scholarship
"Girls on Campus" was founded in August 2023 with the mission to support and empower students attending college. The organization focuses on helping young students particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds, achieve their academic and personal goals through mentorship, resources, and community-building.
Making this a reality

With the invaluable support of EssayPro, a professional paper writing service that makes academic assistance affordable for students, this dream has become a reality. EssayPro is dedicated to ensuring students have access to the resources they need without breaking the bank, and supporting this scholarship aligns with their core mission.
Additionally, the Si Se Puede Foundation has played a pivotal role in supporting our mission by helping us fundraise and enabling us to launch our first scholarship program.
This scholarship aims to assist an incoming or current undergraduate woman who demonstrates both academic merit and financial need. Beyond academics, we seek to support students who are passionate about making a positive impact in their communities and who are committed to personal growth and improvement.
