The scholarship is intended to help ease the burden of college expenses.
The American Association of University Women Medford Branch will award a $1,000 annual scholarship for a non-traditional female college student in May 2017. The scholarship is intended to help ease the burden of college expenses for the recipient.
AAUW awards a scholarship every year to a woman who is returning to or starting college. These non-traditional women may have had to leave college to take care of family but are now ready to work toward a college degree.
To be eligible, the applicant must:
· Be a female resident of Burlington County
· Be a non-traditional student enrolled in an undergraduate degree program. A non-traditional student might be someone whose family obligations required an interruption of several years prior to resuming a college program, or someone who waited until later in life to start college. High school graduates proceeding directly to college are ineligible.
· Take at least one course per semester
· Earn a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0
The Scholarship Committee is accepting scholarship applications through Friday, March 31.
The application form and complete requirements can be found on the web at: http://medford-nj.aauw.net/
For additional information, please contact Stephanie Berridge at sberridge4@verizon.net or (609) 346–8709.
The scholarship will be presented at a dinner in May.
