Debutante Cotillion and Scholarship Ball

Erin Grigley, 2010

The Debutante Cotillion and Scholarship Ball is arguably the premier event for high school junior and senior girls in the Metro Atlanta area.

The Gwinnett Pearls of Service Foundation, Incorporated and the Upsilon Alpha Omega chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated sponsor this biennial affair.

The Scholarship Ball is the culmination of an array of social, cultural, educational and service-related activities. This program was designed to holistically enhance the lives of participating young women. The debutantes participate in six to eight months of educational workshops, service projects and bonding activities that positively reinforce critical self-esteem principles that will last a lifetime.

The program provides opportunities for the debutantes to earn scholarships for higher education. In 2010, debutantes were awarded more than $13,000 in scholarship money.

The 2011 Debutante Cotillion & Scholarship Ball will be held at the Gwinnett Convention Center on February 25, 2012. Get your tickets for this swanky affair here!
