Gloria Rickett Memorial Scholarship
Pursuing higher education is a valuable investment into one’s future, but it is often an expensive, overwhelming experience.
Leaving behind one’s classmates, family, and hometown in exchange for a new city, new peers, and challenging coursework is an intimidating process, compounded by the financial burden presented by college.
This scholarship aims to honor the memory of Gloria Rickett by supporting students who are preparing to begin college.
Any high school senior who is a Maryland resident interested in childhood development, nursing, or the arts may apply for this scholarship.
