SUPPORT THE LEADERS OF TOMORROW
OUR MISSION
The GRACEDBYGRIT foundation will help develop tomorrow’s business leaders by offering female high school athletes scholarships to ensure their collegiate success.
We recognize that athletics can positively affect the personal development of a young woman, encouraging goal-setting, leadership, and teamwork. By creating a scholarship to honor female athletes who have overcome adversity, we hope to alleviate one of the personal obstacles that young women face when pursuing academics and athletics simultaneously.

Young women build self-confidence through participation in sports.

SCHOLARSHIP FUND
The GRACEDBYGRIT scholarship fund recognizes academic and athletic excellence. We created this scholarship to honor female student-athletes who have demonstrated GRIT by overcoming obstacles and adversity in their personal life.
The GRACEDBYGRIT Foundation scholarship is $5,000 to be used at the recipients sole discretion. Applications for the 2022 scholarship open on on International Women’s day, March 8th 2022.
“Something happens when girls play sports – they embody the experience of not just winning, but the critical experience of losing. It’s that process of carrying on and clearing hurdles that really builds confidence. It’s an incredibly useful proving ground for business and leadership.
