Celebrating young women who are making a difference.

In September 2007, WomanTalk Live launched the very first Girls Gone Great Scholarship Essay Contest. Why? Because we believe there are a lot more girls going great than girls going wild. The problem is we usually don’t get to hear about all of wonderful things young women are doing. So, we want to continue to recognize young women making a difference in their world right now and who have a big vision for the future.

You have a voice, you have great ideas, you contribute, you have hopes and dreams…and, WomanTalk Live wants to hear all about it!

Our 2012 Girl Gone Great will receive:

• A $2,000 Continuing Education Scholarship generously donated by Talkradio 680 WCBM Baltimore and Raskin Global’s Women Getting Wise on Wealth
• A guest appearance on WomanTalk Live Radio on Saturday, March 31, 2012.
• An engraved award
• Dinner with Ann Quasman, Host of WomanTalk Live
• Recognition, her photo and essay on the Maryland Women’s Heritage Center website and in the museum center in Baltimore City
• Recognition in other local media venues

Who is eligible to submit an essay for the 2012 contest?

All young women living in Maryland who are in their junior or senior years of high school in the Fall of 2011.
