Guiding Harbor is committed to helping young adults who have been part of our programs pursue their educational and career goals. Through the Suzanne Baber Scholarship, we provide financial assistance to support their continued growth and success.

Suzanne Baber Scholarship

Established in 2013 through a generous donation by Suzanne Baber, a member of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, Michigan, this scholarship encourages the continuing education of individuals who have successfully completed a Guiding Harbor or Girlstown program. The fund is sustained by the generosity of other like-minded individuals.

Deadlines

The Scholarship Committee reviews applications four times per year. Applications received by the following dates will be reviewed during the corresponding periods:

  • February 1 – for applications received between November 2 and February 1

  • May 1 – for applications received between February 2 and May 1

  • August 1 – for applications received between May 2 and August 1

  • November 1 – for applications received between August 2 and November 1

To apply, please complete the online application form or download the application and return it to us. The selection committee may not be familiar with the institution you are choosing to attend; therefore, it is important not to use abbreviations in your application. The committee considers academic need and the quality of your application, rather than solely academic strengths.

Funds awarded through this scholarship will be deposited directly into the student’s account at the financial aid office of the educational institution where the student has been accepted. Recipients are responsible for providing proof of enrollment, the institution’s address, the address of the financial aid office, and their student identification number. Evidence of completed coursework will also be required.
The Suzanne Baber Scholarship is renewable based on the availability of funds and the discretion of the scholarship selection committee. The number of scholarships and the amounts awarded each year will be based on the interest earned by the scholarship fund.
