In the Debutante Cotillion & Scholarship Program young ladies who are juniors and seniors in high school are equipped, encouraged and stimulated to pursue higher education, academic excellence, personal development, and civic engagement. Underserved and minority young ladies are the focus of the program’s objectives which aim to:

Enhance personal, civic and leadership development through structured educational workshops.
Promote high academic achievement and provide scholarships towards higher education.
Promote servant leadership through volunteerism and community service.
Promote high ethical standards, character development, good citizenship, and social graces during the formative years.
Promote camaraderie and positive relationships with other young women.
Promote artistic expression and health through dance and movement.

The program objectives are achieved through an almost seven-month curriculum consisting of educational workshops, activities, community service outings, rehearsals, and social events are all part of the program’s seven-month curriculum. On Sunday, November 8, 2026, the program will culminate with the Debutante Cotillion Scholarship Ball at which the young ladies will be formally presented to society and awarded scholarships.

The Debutante Cotillion and Scholarship Program is made up of four key components:

Educational Workshops and Social Activities
