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 10 more awards since, bringing the total amount of scholarships provided to $30,000 in 7 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.
We are currently taking applications for our annual fall award for a Kappa Delta from the University of Florida! Please click on our "Applications" page for more details about deadlines and requirements for the award. Last year's KD recipient was Emma White, and you can learn more about Emma and read her winning essay on our "Recipients" page. While there you can also see all of our past recipients and read their winning essays as well. Please feel free to explore our website, and hit that "Donate" button if you want to contribute!
Gina's Life
Gina lived life to the fullest during her time with us. She graduated from the University of Florida, traveled the world, started her own business, and created a family full of love. Her life serves as an example to all of us on how one should live, love, and laugh every chance they get and to make the most of each moment.
If you are interested in donating or helping the fund reach its goals, please reach out to us and we will respond as soon as possible. Or, if you are a student and wish to know more about our scholarship availability and requirements, please send us an e-mail and we will fill you in on the process for applicants. Thanks!
