The  Scholarship Program reflects our commitment to education and what is best for women and girls. Our goal is to promote the education of a wide range of worthy students, including those re-entering the workforce in our community. While our focus is on women, some scholarships are for men.

Each scholarship has specific REQUIREMENTS. For example: educational status, high school student or graduate, gender (some scholarships are for women only), residency and financial need. All scholarships are for one year.

Scholarships are granted for United States based educational institutions or programs. Study abroad programs for course credit at a US college or university are acceptable.
