Girls' Leadership Worldwide 2015
Session 1: July 11 - 19 | Session 2: July 25 - August 2
GLW Application Deadline Extended to March 23rd!

Due to popular demand, we are extending the deadline for 2015 GLW Applications until Monday, March 23rd.

Applications are coming in daily from enthusiastic young leaders, but many schools and families have contacted us about deadline extensions – some are on spring break this week while others have faced many scheduling conflicts due to this winter’s harsh weather and subsequent school closings and delays. Therefore, we’d like to grant the application extension to all who are interested in GLW.
Now in its 19th year, GLW is one of the most distinguished leadership development programs for teen girls currently in the 9th or 10th grades. It is designed to give young women the skills and mindset to "Lead Like Eleanor."

Last summer we had the privilege of welcoming 73 spirited young women from Alabama, California, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, New Mexico, New York, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Oregon, and other states along with international participants from Germany, Greece, Ireland, Jordan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Nigeria, and Pakistan, making for a truly worldwide experience.
Will one of your students be among this year's participants?

Many
administrators and teachers ask us what GLW is really like -- what happens during a "typical" day at GLW? We thought you might like to read this great description from Julia, a Summer 2014 participant. Click here to learn more about the GLW program and Julia's experience.

"The growth that I witnessed in M. (GLW 2013) her sophomore and junior year as a result of GLW was exponential. She truly took what she learned from this experience and was able to apply her newfound confidence and skills in ways that augmented her already strong skill set." ~ High School Assistant Principal (Colorado)


"Although I had always known that women could be leaders and effect change in the world, I hadn't known that I was capable of that. GLW gave me the tools, and taught me that I am." ~ Julia, GLW 2014 (The Netherlands) *
Tuition & Scholarships
The GLW program fee is $2,500, plus applicable transportation costs to & from Hyde Park, NY. We are committed to providing scholarships to as many qualified girls as possible and indicating an interest for scholarships has no bearing on admission decisions. Additionally, we also provide a fundraising tool-kit so that girls can design and implement their own fundraising activities to help contribute to the program costs.
Application Deadline
Applications must be postmarked by March 16, 2015. Additional information, a program brochure and application can be found on our website by clicking the "Learn More" button below.

SENIORS!!!! We now have the local Scholarship Packet ready for pick up in the guidance office plus a new one that was received after the packets were made (Sportsmen's Scholarship). Each student must come pick up their own copy and sign for it.

***Anyone that did pick up a packet yesterday - please check the Rotary Club Scholarship & make sure it included 4 pages - 2 front & back - IF NOT, come back & get a corrected one - had a problem with a few printing.

ALL of the local scholarships are available on the counselor's website under "Academics".

NOTE: For past graduates who need to fill out the Anderson County Scholarship again, the scholarship is available on the counselor's website.

All parents who have seniors interested in attending college after school can now apply for the Free application for federal student aid using the address:

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is used to apply for federal, state and college-based financial aid. You should file a FAFSA as soon as possible after Jan. 1, 2015. Awards are income-based, so applying early does not guarantee you will get an award. If you or your parents have not completed your 2014 tax return, you can file your FAFSA using estimated tax information but you must correct that information after you file your return

We also ask that you donate any of your used or new shoes of all sizes to our Shoes for HOPE fund raiser ACHS Students participating in the Kentucky Colleges Coach Program will earn 10 cents per pound of shoes collected.

Some of the shoes collected will be given to people without shoes and others will be re-purposed or used in micro-enterprises around the world. In some cases, shoes will be used to make other products. Your participation in the Shoes for H.O.P.E. program can make a POSITIVE IMPACT in the lives of others. Every shoe will make a difference! Students can sign up to bringing in a bag of 25 pairs of shoes (collected from friends family neighborhood etc) will be entered into a drawing for one of 3 $10 i-tune gift cards once they bring in a bag of 25 pairs of shoes. See or email Ms. Alexander for more details. [email protected]

Any senior who is interested in going to the University of Dayton next fall please see Ms. Miracle for a scholarship opportunity.
