Cap and Gown Scholarships
Cap and Gown began its first scholarship in 1924. Presently there are six Cap and Gown scholarships administered by Stanford University.
Four of these scholarships are named in honor of distinguished Cap and Gown members including Margaret Barr (an honorary member who gave great support for women's athletics), Sandra Day O'Connor '50 (former United States Supreme Court Justice), Rosamond Bacon '30 (Cap and Gown contributor for over 50 years who acted as Director of Union Residence and who opened her Mayfield Avenue home for many Cap and Gown functions), and Bettye Luhnow Bailey '43 (a long-time Cap and Gown devoted contributor who was a mother to two Cap and Gown women and a grandmother to a third). The six scholarships are as follows:
- The Cap and Gown Centennial Scholarship Fund
- The Cap and Gown Scholarship Fund
- The Sandra Day O'Connor Cap and Gown Scholarship Fund
- The Margaret C. Barr Cap and Gown Scholarship Fund
- The Rosamond Clarke Bacon Cap and Gown Scholarship Fund
- The Bettye Luhnow Bailey Cap and Gown Scholarship Fund
All six Cap and Gown scholarships are given to undergraduate women by Stanford University's Office of Financial Aid. We are happy that over 150 women students have benefitted from this long tradition. We invite Cap and Gown scholarship recipients to participate in various events with our Alumnae Board and actives.
