With the Sara Morley GOTR Spirit Scholarship Fund, we are happy to empower past GOTR participants. This award provides the opportunity to support and celebrate a young woman who has previously participated in the Girls on the Run program and has shown a commitment to carrying the program's core values.

This scholarship was founded in 2014 in honor of Sara Morley, former GOTRNA council director and the driving force who kept Girls on the Run alive in Northern Arizona by bringing it to North Country HealthCare. Sara’s deep commitment to public service, belief in the limitless potential of every girl, and passionate participation in life helped define her Girls on the Run Spirit.

Girls on the Run is thrilled to present $1,000 one-time scholarship scholarship for a post-secondary education to one previous program participant. Scholarships will be awarded on a personal essay. We believe that the Girls on the Run program will continue to have a positive impact on our former participants for many years to come!
