Join in our efforts to assist Contra Costa County women in furthering their education.
We welcome your assistance in our efforts to raise funds to benefit Contra Costa County women seeking higher education in a four year college or university. The women have GPA's of 3.5 or higher and are actively engaged in community service. They are leaders in their schools or after school activities and need financial assistance to help send them on their way.
We raise the money by running fund-raising events or from corporate and individual donations. We also gladly accept in kind donations such as legal, accounting, printing and other such professional services, keeping our operating costs low and our scholarships high.
Blackhawk Women's Scholarship Fund also welcomes prospective volunteers and creative fund-raising ideas.
2007 is our fifth year granting scholarships to deserving and qualified women. This year, we hope to exceed the $35,000 granted last year to six women who were in need of assistance.
