Non-traditional female college students are encouraged to apply for the $1000 scholarship through March 31st
The American Association of University Women (AAUW) Medford branch will award a $1,000 annual scholarship for a non-traditional female college student this upcoming May.
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, take at least one course per semester, earn a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0, and be a non-traditional student enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate 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.
The scholarship committee is accepting scholarship applications through March 31.
The application form and complete requirements can be found on the web at www.medford-nj.aauw.net/. For additional information, please contact Stephanie Berridge at sberridge4@verizon.net. The scholarship will be presented at a dinner in May.
