Lindsey Vonn ‘GREAT Starts With GRIT’ Scholarship
Every young girl has a dream – to be a trailblazer, an artist, an athlete, or simply to rise above any challenge that comes her way.
The Lindsey Vonn Foundation believes that with the right support and environment, girls can do all of that and more. Grit is often the key to rising above one’s circumstances and achieving success, especially for girls from underserved communities who face barriers to their goals.
This scholarship seeks to support young women and girls who have faced obstacles but are persevering to achieve their educational goals.
Any low-income female high school student between the ages of thirteen and eighteen may apply for this scholarship opportunity. One 5k award will be awarded to a student between the ages for 13-15, and the other 5k award will be awarded to a student who is between the ages of 15-18.
To apply, tell us how you embody a gritty mindset in the midst of the challenges you have had to overcome.
