Bloomingdale Area Women In Business awards three scholarships
Bloomingdale Area Women in Business recently awarded $2,500 in scholarships to three highly deserving adult females who are looking to improve themselves professionally by such means as continued education or professional development with the goal of furthering her knowledge and expertise.
This scholarship opportunity is made possible by three generous donors.
The scholarships were funded by donations from Cornerstone Faith Community Church, Emboldened Wealth Management and Neil J. Moscicki, CPWA, CFP, ChFC - Wintrust Wealth Management. Unlike many scholarships being awarded during this time, this scholarship is awarded to an adult woman, usually already in her career path.
