AAUW Elmhurst Area Branch offers scholarships for returning students
The American Association of University Women Elmhurst Area Branch is offering two scholarships of $3,000 each to women from the communities of Elmhurst, Addison, Bensenville, Berkeley, Northlake, Oak Brook, or Villa Park who need financial assistance to continue education at the undergraduate or graduate level. An applicant may be studying full or part time.
Besides being from one of the above communities, the applicant must be continuing her education after completing at least 12 credit hours at an accredited college or university and be age 25 or older.
The AAUW mission is to advance equity for women and girls through advocacy, education, philanthropy, and research at both the national and local levels. Funds for these scholarships come from the used book sale that AAUW hosts each summer. The 2017 used book sale was so successful that the organization is pleased to be able to offer two scholarships this year.
Scholarship requirements as well as the application form for the scholarship can be found on the AAUW website: www.aauwelmhurst.org.
The application deadline is Sunday, April 1.
