2026 Scholarships That Change Lives

 Thanks to the incredible generosity of our sponsors and community partners, Every Girl Shines proudly awarded $1,500 scholarships to nine graduating Stars: seven in Atlanta, one in Seattle, and one in Daytona Beach. Each scholarship is paid directly to the recipient’s college of choice, helping ease the financial barrier of higher education as our Stars take their next steps toward achieving their goals. 

Our support extends beyond scholarships. Through our partnership with Inspiredu, graduating seniors also received laptops to help ensure they have access to the technology and resources needed to succeed in and beyond college .

We are especially grateful to Madam Clerk Che' Alexander and Chelsie Willis for their generous contributions toward offsetting U.S. passport costs for our Stars. This new initiative was created to empower our Stars to pursue opportunities both locally and globally. To our sponsors and partners, thank you for believing in our Mission and our Stars, and for continuing to help our girls Shine!
