The Junior League of Bronxville (JLB) is committed to improving educational opportunities for children in our community. One way we do this is by offering annual scholarship awards for higher education.

The JLB offers three different scholarship awards as outlined below. In doing so, we hope to extend our mission by encouraging and rewarding young women who are making a positive impact in our community.

Applications are now open for 2024. Please see below for the descriptions of each scholarship and the corresponding application.

Cara Kealy Scholarship Award

Cara Kealy was an exemplary and beloved member of the Junior League of Bronxville who sadly passed away after a long and courageous battle with breast cancer in 2013. In her passing, the JLB created the Cara Kealy Scholarship in her honor so that her impact would continue to benefit her community.  

The JLB will award a one-time $1,500 scholarship to a young woman who is furthering her higher education and reflects Cara’s and the League’s commitment to volunteerism.
