Helping young women as they begin their adult lives is a significant way for The Fortnightly Club to give back to the community. Each year, college scholarships are awarded to deserving young women who meet the criteria that they are graduating seniors from Summit, planning to attend a four year college, and majoring in a professional, business or scientific field. The award is based on academic merit, community service and financial need.

Funds for this scholarship are raised from the club’s annual spring luncheon. Held at the Canoe Brook Country Club, the luncheon is attended by Fortnightly Club members, friends and the community at large.
