Girl Scouts of the Sierra Nevada

Girl Scouts of the Sierra Nevada supports Girl Scout members in Nevada and connects that service to educational advancement for older youth preparing for college. Its work reaches high school seniors within the Girl Scouts of the Sierra Nevada community, including members who have completed the Girl Scout Gold Award and are seeking a bachelor’s degree. The organization’s scholarship activity shows a clear emphasis on recognizing sustained participation, leadership, and achievement within Girl Scouting rather than need-based aid alone.

A concrete example is the Crutchfield-Healy Memorial Scholarship, which opens on 1/1/2026 and closes on 12/31/2026. That award offers up to $2,000 to female high school seniors who are members of Girl Scouts of the Sierra Nevada, reside in Nevada, and plan to pursue a bachelor’s degree. Eligibility also requires participation in extracurricular activities and receipt of the Girl Scout Gold Award. Special consideration goes to students with academic achievement and extracurricular involvement, with attention to the impact of the Gold Award project.
