Diamonds in the Rough Ministry takes pride in supporting young women in all aspects of life. This includes expanding educational opportunities for young women in Texas by urging them down a path of lifelong learning. For over a decade, we have provided thousands of dollars in scholarship funds to high school seniors and now also undergraduates. We look to continue our scholarship outreach and expand this ministry to soon include those women pursuing graduate studies. The scholarship amounts will vary.
To be eligible for the Rose Marie Williams Memorial Scholarship, applicants must: be a high school senior; have at least a 2.5 GPA; and provide proof of enrollment into a college or university to receive scholarship funds (only if selected for the scholarship). To be eligible for the Commanisha Richardson Memorial Scholarship, applicants must: be currently-enrolled undergraduates at a college or university; have at least a 2.5 GPA; submit a list of of Institutions, locations, dates attended; and not yet have a degree from a four-year school. To apply for either scholarship, applicants must also submit: an official transcript; a list of any awards or honors received; a list of work experiences, volunteer experiences and ministry involvement; a recommendation letter; and a personal statement that answers a given prompt.
