Elmhurst Area AAUW Branch offers returning student scholarships

The American Association of University Women-Elmhurst Area Branch is offering two scholarships of $2,500 each to women from the communities of Elmhurst, Addison, Bensenville, Berkeley, Northlake, Oak Brook, Oakbrook Terrace, 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 hosted in 2019.

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 Saturday, May 1.
