Welcome to the Gina Guthrie Scholarship Fund! Our mission is to award scholarships to deserving college students in memory of Gina Guthrie. Gina was a beacon of light to all who knew her and her passing from cancer in January of 2019 was a great tragedy. In order to keep her memory alive, this fund was started in her name with the goal of providing financial assistance to students in need. We awarded our first 2 scholarships in the summer of 2020 and have made 8 more awards since, bringing the total amount of scholarships provided to $25,000 in just 5 years. Please explore our site to learn more about Gina and her legacy, get to know our recipients, and donate to the fund to help other students live the dream life she had.
Spring is here, and it's time to make our annual high school scholarship award! If you are a senior at any Cabarrus County, N.C. high school and headed to college in the fall, you are eligible to receive our $2,500 grant. Please check out our "Applications" page and you can read the essay requirements for our award and submit your application there. We would also like to congratulate Ashley Savigne who was the recipient of our Fall 2024 Kappa Delta scholarship! You can read her winning submission and get to know her a little more by clicking on our "Recipients" page. While you are there, you can also read the winning essay from our Spring 2024 Cabarrus County, N.C. H.S. winner Sindhura Chundi. Sindhura completed her senior year at Hickory Ridge High School and is now enrolled at UNC-Chapel Hill and is pursuing a degree in computer science. Thanks again to everyone who submitted essays for previous awards and good luck to all our new applicants.
