“PART III, LINE 4A: Scholarship Program - Our scholarship program ensures equitable access to the ZGiRLS Confidence Program for girls from underserved communities. In 2024, we upheld our 100% acceptance rate for scholarship applicants, ensuring that financial barriers never prevent participation. Of the 1,300 girls served, 77% received scholarships, with 88% of those girls qualifying for free or reduced lunch at school. We do not separate or reduce the experience for scholarship recipientsevery girl receives the same curriculum, athlete mentorship, and program materials. This program is essential to ZGiRLS mission of eliminating self-limitations for all girls, regardless of income or background. Parent and Caregiver Engagement - In 2024, we expanded our caregiver engagement efforts by providing resources and support for parents of program participants. After each weekly session, we emailed families a summary of the lessons and discussion prompts to continue confidence-building at home. These touchpoints empower parents to reinforce key curriculum themes and support their childs mental wellness. We also offered optional virtual caregiver check-ins, which were well received and helped increase overall program satisfaction. This program strengthens the ecosystem surrounding each girlensuring that the tools learned during ZGiRLS are supported beyond the screen.”
