Scholarship Stories
“Attending the Girls Who Hike Virginia 2025 Summit was grounding for me, made possible by the generous scholarship I received. Without this financial support, I would not have been able to participate and immerse myself in such a vibrant community of outdoor enthusiasts. This experience allowed me to learn the first steps to backpacking, how to center myself, and brought new sights to behold. This experience inspired me to become a more active and engaged member of the outdoor community.”
—2025 Summit Scholarship Recipient
“I was thrilled to receive the scholarship because it gave me the chance to experience something completely new and made attending financially possible. I especially enjoyed the afternoon hike and the photography session, which inspired me to keep exploring once I got home and helped me see hiking as a hobby I genuinely want to build. These experiences showed me how much the outdoors has to offer, something I hadn’t fully appreciated before. Now I look forward to my weekend hikes and discovering new trails nearby.”
