Princess Closet Scholarship

The Princess Closet was established in 2010 for the young ladies in high schools across the state of Illinois. We like to think of ourselves as their fairy godmothers, providing them with the means to fulfill a dream that will remain a bright and beautiful memory for many years beyond graduation. In addition to providing all the prom attire and accessories needed to transform hundreds of young ladies into the belles of the ball, the Princess Closet is an advocate of higher education and promotes academic excellence.

This year, one Princess Closet Scholarship will be awarded to a young lady who graduates with a GPA of 3.0 or higher, is involved in community service and shows leadership skills. The ideal candidates has made significant contributions in her community through active enrollment in community-based volunteering activities and/or school/organizational groups/clubs.
