Thanks to the generosity of members and friends, Vail Valley Business Women raised over $5,000 for the Vail Valley Business Women Scholarship. The VVBW Scholarship is given to young women graduating from Eagle County High Schools who intend to study business at a two or four year college. These young women have displayed leadership and achievement in their high school years, are deserving because of a financial need, or overcame challenging life obstacles.

Five individual $1,000 scholarships were awarded by VVBW board members Jessica Woods, secretary, and Melanie McKinney, P.R. and marketing director, on May 3 at the YouthPower365’s Dollar for Scholars Program ceremony. The students attended Battle Mountain High School, Red Canyon High School, Vail Mountain School and Vail Ski and Snowboard Academy.

Congratulations to the 2018 recipients!
