GIRLS GONE WINE SCHOLARSHIP (Broken Bow and/or Waurika High School)

Fall Scholarship This scholarship will be awarded to graduates of Broken Bow and/or Waurika High School.  Recipients must maintain a minimum 2.5 GPA and have a history of community and/or civic involvement and service.  Preference will be given to students that have overcome personal/family hardships to continuing their education.  Financial need will be a prominent criterion. This scholarship will be awarded at the discretion of the Foundation’s Scholarship Committee.  In 2008 while their friend and fellow wine girl and Broken Bow school teacher, Shawn Hutchings, was battling breast cancer friends Chandra Rickey, Michelle Finch (1986 ECU Alum) and Rhonda Reed, developed the wine, Friends 4 Life.  A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this wine was used to fund scholarships for Hutchings children.  After Shawn lost her battle with breast cancer the girls decided to keep producing the wine to honor her passion for education by donating proceeds each year for scholarships for students that have had to overcome personal hardships to continue their education. Students must complete the General ECU Foundation Scholarship Application to be eligible for this award.
