2nd Annual The Girl Effect Scholarship Recipients
|
|
Two recently graduated high school seniors will equally split $5,000 of scholarship money offered by CFCU!
The two Sonoma County young women are the winners of “The Girl Effect” Scholarship, given to entrepreneurial young women with vision, ideas, and the determination to make a difference in their communities.
Please help us in congratulating them!
-
Tanna Curtis, Maria Carrillo High. Attending college at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.

Sofia Frazer, Sonoma Valley High. Attending college at Emerson College.
The germ of the idea for a local scholarship came from Chloe Cullen, herself a Regents’ & Chancellor’s Scholar at UC Berkeley. In 2020, Chloe had been raising funds for girls to attend a boarding school in Africa. She called her fundraiser ‘The Girl Effect –– Educate a Girl and She Changes a Village.’ Together, Chloe and Community First created a Sonoma County version of that scholarship, thus “The Girl Effect Scholarship.”
A group of high-powered local women leaders were recruited as judges:
-
Jillian Benvenuti – Founder and Chief of Staff at Hello Alice, a multi-channel platform helping entrepreneurs launch and grow their business
-
Monika Besancon, Chief Lending Officer at Community First Credit Union, now in her fourth decade of mortgage banking
-
Chloe Cullen, Regents’ & Chancellor’s Scholar at UC Berkeley, former Intern at Girls Leadership Institute in Oakland, current Intern at Berkeley SkyDeck

We have bins at the following Community First branches: College, Fulton, Guerneville, Healdsburg, and Sebastopol.
We will be collecting items through the end of July.
Together, we will help get kids back to school with the supplies they need to succeed.
