New: Donate to the GGS Scholarship Fund!

Over the history of the GGS Scholarship, we've helped countless young women pursuing engineering degrees transition from high school to college. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this my mission by coming to a T-Shirt Auction or inspiring their companies to get involved!

Now you can also help support budding Bay Area engineers by donating online! Click the button below to be directed to our PayPal donation page.
