The SisterFriends Circle Scholarship

The "SisterFriends Circle" Scholarship desires to provide a deserving student with $1,000 scholarship who desires to further their education. 
SisterFriends Circle is a dedicated social group comprised of accomplished women committed to challenging stereotypes through showcasing the harmonious coexistence of women. Our members, who seamlessly balance careers, family, entrepreneurship, and community involvement, recognize the importance of fostering strong connections with other women outside of their busy schedules.

In line with our mission, the women of SisterFriends Circle aim to extend their support to a deserving senior at Proviso East, Proviso West, or PMSA high schools. Our goal is to contribute to their educational journey, whether it is through attending a university, trade school, pursuing a military path, or enrolling in a junior college. We believe in empowering the next generation and investing in their future.
