Scholarships

Each year, Central Florida Women’s League Foundation grants scholarships to graduating
young women. Our goal is to assist them with their college tuition expenses.

We have awarded $693,500 to 240 young women to date, each testament to the power of education and determination.

Student eligibility is based on the following criteria:

• Graduating female high school seniors from Dr Phillips, Ocoee, Olympia, West Orange or
Windermere High Schools

• Extracurricular/Community involvement

• Demonstrate academic potential

• Possess a minimum GPA of 3.0 (unweighted)

• Demonstrate the need for financial assistance

The impact of our support is evident in the diverse array of colleges and universities our scholars have attended across the United States. These include esteemed institutions such as The University of Texas, The University of Miami, The University of Florida, The University of Southern California, Wellesley College, Emory University, Cornell University, The University of Central Florida, Florida State University, Georgetown University, Howard University, Florida A&M University, Vanderbilt University, Point Park University, Valencia College, The University of Alabama, and Yale University, among others!

We awarded Valentina a scholarship in 2026. Here’s what she had to say……

Being a recipient of the Central Florida Women’s League scholarship has been such a meaningful experience for me. It not only provided financial support, but also reminded me that there are strong, empowering women who believe in my future. Their support has motivated me to keep working hard and to one day give back to my community in the same way.
