Saint Rose Receives $1.2 Million from The Pussycat Foundation for BOLD

For the second time, The College of Saint Rose has received a grant for more than $1 million from The Pussycat Foundation to support the BOLD Women’s Leadership Network at Saint Rose.
 
The $1.2 million grant is intended to empower a select group of young women leaders, known as BOLD Scholars, to address important issues in their communities. The Pussycat Foundation was founded by Helen Gurley Brown, best known for reinventing Cosmopolitan magazine, and was named after Brown’s favored term of endearment.
 
The BOLD Women’s Leadership Network operates at six colleges and universities throughout the United States, including Saint Rose. Among other needs, the funding helps underwrite BOLD Scholars’ college costs, enabling them to focus on their education, leadership development, and career launch. Currently, 14 juniors and seniors at Saint Rose serve as BOLD Scholars.
