Direct Scholarship Program

The Women’s Club of Great Falls Scholarship Fund provides $2,500 scholarships to deserving students who are residents of Northern Virginia and attend George Mason University (GMU) or Northern Virginia Community College (NVCC) Advance, a partnership between NVCC and GMU that gives community college students targeted, personalized support to complete a bachelor’s degree on time and save money. This support increases the odds that the student can graduate with a meaningful degree. In 2022, we awarded eleven $2,500 scholarships.

Scholarship applications are reviewed by The Scholarship Fund Executive Board annually and awarded based on specific criteria including financial need, academic performance, and current enrollment at GMU or NVCC. The Scholarship Fund raises funds by soliciting private/corporate donations and hosting two annual signature fundraising events - an evening spring gala and a fall afternoon tea. 85% of all dollars raised go directly to student scholarships.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jun 01 - May 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
