The Kroger Co. and The Procter & Gamble Co. have opened the application window for its 2023 Game Changers Scholarship.
In its second year, 23 $2,000 scholarships will be awarded to diverse female students pursuing a business-related, sciences, technical and/or liberal arts undergraduate degree or certificate. The scholarship is presented by The Kroger Foundation and P&G’s Always Brand. The deadline to apply is May 12.
“We were overwhelmed with the response to the Game Changers Scholarship in its inaugural year,” said Kate Meyer, VP of Kroger health and beauty care.
“This year, we are excited to open the program to young women across the country and – together with P&G – increase the number of scholarships awarded. Kroger and the Always Brand are proud to team up and provide an opportunity for young women to position themselves for success, both inside and outside the classroom.”
The Game Changers platform was developed by Kroger and P&G to champion women in sports, business and education. In addition to the program, this commitment includes the Queen City Game Changers – a women’s leadership program – to accelerate women advancing into executive leadership roles. Each of these programs happens in conjunction with the LPGA Kroger Queen City Championship presented by P&G.
“P&G is proud to partner with Kroger to change the game for women in business, education and sports through the Game Changers Platform,” said Pat Cady, SVP of sales at P&G.
“We are excited to host the world’s most talented golfers again this fall at the LPGA Kroger Queen City Championship presented by P&G. In addition, we will continue to fuel the future of the Game Changers Women’s Leadership Program and the Game Changers Scholarship Program.”
The 2023 LPGA Kroger Queen City Championship presented by P&G will take place Sept. 4-10 at the Kenwood Country Club in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Selection will be based on an assessment of academic performance, leadership skills, character, community service and school involvement of exceptional women of multicultural backgrounds with financial need. To be eligible, applicants must be enrolled in or accepted to part-time or full-time programs during the 2023-24 academic year at an accredited, non-profit college, university, technical or vocational institution.

Applicants must have a high school or college cumulative GPA of 3.0/4.0 as determined by the transcript and have an unmet financial need as determined by the Student Aid Report.
