The Corinne Jeannine Schillings Foundation Scholarship to Study a Foreign Language and Grant for Study Abroad
The Corinne Jeannine Schillings Foundation is dedicated to preserving the memory of Corinne Schillings, a 26 year-old woman who lost her life in the Baltimore Water Taxi accident on March 6, 2004. Corinne was a Silver Award Girl Scout and a 1999 graduate of Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. Corinne received her undergraduate degree in foreign languages, majoring in Italian; she also studied Spanish, French, and Portuguese. She spent two semesters studying in Italy, first in Florence and then Milan. During her study abroad in Florence, Corinne met her soon to be fiancé Andrew Roccella, who also died in the accident. Corinne believed strongly in higher education for women and in learning about various cultures through language.

The Foundation will award scholarships and grants to deserving young women who reflect Corinne’s aspirations, values, and enthusiasm for life.

• Scholarship: The Foundation will award scholarships to deserving young women who have earned the Girl Scout Gold or Silver Award and who plan to or are currently pursuing a college major or minor in foreign language. This scholarship IS renewable.

It is not necessary to be a scholarship recipient to apply for this one-time grant; nor are scholarship recipients excluded from applying. This grant is NOT renewable.
