The Social Circle High School Scholarship Program

Every young woman deserves the chance to pursue her passions, invest in her future, and build the life she's dreaming about. Our high school scholarship program exists to help make that possible.

What We're Funding

We award scholarships to high school students in our community who are ready to take the next step toward their goals. Maybe that's preparing for college, learning a new skill, starting a creative project, launching a business idea, or investing in your wellness. We're here to help.

Annual awards range from $500 to $1,000, with special circumstances considered up to $2,500. Straight A's and a polished résumé aren't what we're after. We're looking for genuine intention and real commitment to your goals.

Who Can Apply

You must be a high school student, any grade, and a full time resident of Sarasota County or the surrounding area. You don't need to be a member of The Social Circle. You don't need perfect grades or a specific income level. We're looking for real girls with real goals and real determination.

How We Choose

We evaluate applications based on financial need, how clear your goal is, how it aligns with your growth, your personal story, and recommendations from people who know you well, like teachers, counselors, or mentors. A polished application isn't the goal here. Your authentic voice is.

The Timeline

Applications open September 14th and close October 14th. We review applications in late October, host additional interviews if needed, and notify winners by November 2nd. Awards are presented at One Night Only on November 14th.

The Commitment

If you receive a scholarship, we ask that you share a brief update with us about your progress. We genuinely want to celebrate your journey and stay connected to your success. Your story becomes part of our community's story.

Apply Today

The application asks you to tell us about yourself, your goal, why you need support, and how this opportunity would change things for you. We want to hear your voice. Be honest. Be specific. Be yourself.
