BUILDING BEAUTIFUL FUTURES SCHOLARSHIP
The Building Beautiful Futures Scholarship is powered by Dark & Lovely in partnership with The College Gurl Foundation. This opportunity provides Black female college students scholarships to support their educational endeavors and financial freedom post-graduation. Currently, Black women hold the most student loan debt in America and do not achieve the same level of success as their counterparts. This life changing scholarship opportunity will invest into the success of Black women in higher education to help them develop into the next future leaders of tomorrow.

​
"CGF creates a world of opportunity for minority high school students to become the next future leaders of tomorrow by providing free college tours, monthly educational programs, family financial planning sessions, and scholarships for all CGF students."

CGF 2022 Annual Scholarship Luncheon

The College Gurl Foundation Annual Scholarship Luncheon on June 4, 2022 provided $14,000 in scholarships to the Class of 2022. This event allowed us to celebrate the accomplishments of our student participants and invest into our future educational programming. All CGF students are showing tremendous promise, but we cannot do this work without you!
