Rugby remains a male-dominated sport with women making up just over a quarter of all players. 

However, women’s rugby is on the rise and is experiencing significant growth around the world, with the number of registered players growing by 28% since 2017. The opportunities for growth within women’s rugby make it a great sport for young women to get involved in.

This scholarship aims to help women’s rugby players pay for college so they can afford the costs of higher education.

Any female rugby player who is a high school senior, undergraduate, graduate student, or trade school student may apply for this scholarship.

William Griggs was a beloved father who believed that space represented the final frontier of exploration for humanity. 

William grew up in rural New York and quickly developed a love for science, tinkering, and pushing the limits of possibility. William took this passion and his curious nature to launch a career as an aeronautical engineer working on groundbreaking projects, including the Saturn V Rocket that delivered astronauts to the moon for the Apollo missions. 

William encouraged his daughters to engage in science and mathematics, building their confidence and teaching them how to take risks based on methodical preparation and knowledge.

This scholarship seeks to honor the memory of William Griggs by supporting women pursuing science and math.
