Supporting Women's Education
The Kalmia Club offers two opportunities for senior and junior women attending South Hunterdon Regional High School. Applicants apply for both opportunities through the SHRHS Guidance Office. Information is provided through the Guidance Office, early, after the New Year. Please be on the lookout for announcements at the school. All recipients, along with their families, are invited to attend an awards ceremony at the Kalmia Clubhouse in June.
The Kalmia Club Scholarship Program
The annual Kalmia Club Scholarship Program is open to girls who are current year graduating seniors at SHRHS. Once the scholarship opportunity is announced by the school, the Kalmia Club and the SHRHS Guidance Office start soliciting and accepting applications and essays for the scholarship(s).
Girls Career Institute at Rutgers' Douglass College
The Girls Career Institute (GCI) offers a “mini college experience” at Douglass Residential College on the Rutgers campus in New Brunswick, NJ. It is open to current year junior girls. They will experience a snapshot of college life by living in a dorm, attending lectures, and meeting other girls from all over New Jersey. Delegates are sponsored by the Kalmia Club, and the experience is made possible by the NJ State Federation of Women’s Clubs.

Preserving Our Historic Clubhouse
Preserving the structural and aesthetic integrity of our clubhouse is part of Kalmia’s mission. It is a historical landmark, recognized by the U.S. Department of the Interior in the State and National Register of Historical Places
Few clubs have the good fortune of having their own clubhouse. Many meet in public spaces, which they must rent or reserve. We are so grateful to have a place we can call home and honored to be her guardians since 1910.
As every homeowner knows, it takes ongoing resources to maintain a building. Support towards this effort is greatly appreciated
“The Girls’ Career Institute was an amazing opportunity. I was able to gain insight about new career paths to explore, and they helped prepare me for the college application process.”
