OUR GIRLS GO TO COLLEGE!
One of our girls was just awarded a full scholarship with the Posse Foundation to go to Dickinson College in the fall of 2005! Several WriteGirl mentors were instrumental in nominating her for the scholarship and helping her through the application process. We're so excited for her. She's just one example of our many stories of achievement.

WriteGirlLast year 16 WriteGirls went off to college, many as the first in their families to do so. 100% of our graduating girls enroll in college after participation in WriteGirl. We’re very proud.
