Founder of The Cookie Fund Scholarship

When I got married in 2019, it was an incredibly exciting and special moment in my life. Despite my happiness, I quickly faced the reality of budget constraints. I had to compromise on certain features I wanted due to these limitations. Planning a wedding, regardless of its size, can pose a significant financial challenge. A wedding scholarship would have been a game changer for me. I understand that a wedding is so much more than a “big party,” and I deeply respect and admire the significance of the occasion. There are many expenses associated with getting married, including the officiant, licenses, food, venue, attire, and more. I want to help deserving brides alleviate the financial burden of their weddings so they can focus on fully enjoying their very special day.

The Cookie Fund Why?

The Wedding Cookie Fund is a scholarship awarded to brides planning to get married within six months to a year. This scholarship assists with wedding expenses, whether you’re opting for a courthouse ceremony with a small gathering afterward or a more traditional celebration. We understand that budget constraints are often the most stressful aspect of wedding planning, leading many brides to compromise on certain features or incur debt. Given the staggering costs associated with weddings of any size, our mission is to help deserving brides alleviate the financial burden. We recognize that weddings are much more than just a “party”—they are meaningful celebrations of love and unity among friends, family, and colleagues. To apply, simply answer a few questions and let us know why you are deserving of a wedding scholarship.

Program Goals

The Wedding Cookie Fund aims to alleviate the financial burden of marriage by providing partial coverage of wedding costs for ten deserving women by 2026, enabling couples to realize their dream weddings without overwhelming debt, and start their new lives together on a positive financial footing.

In addition to financial assistance, we aim to empower scholarship recipients with knowledge and resources for informed decision-making during the wedding planning process, offering workshops, seminars, and online resources to educate brides on budgeting, vendor selection, and other essential aspects, equipping them to navigate confidently and efficiently.

The Wedding Cookie Fund aims to cultivate a supportive community of past and present scholarship recipients, donors, and industry partners united in celebrating love and easing financial stress. Through networking events, mentorship programs, and online forums, we strive to establish a nurturing ecosystem where brides can connect, share experiences, and provide mutual support, ensuring no one feels isolated in their wedding planning journey.
