SCHOLARSHIPS FOR LOW-INCOME WOMEN
(Submitted by Rosetta Gainey of ADCFI)
The Jeannette Rankin Foundation is a non-profit
organization dedicated to raising funds for, and
awarding grants to, low-income women, age 35 and
older. Each award recipient has a vision of how a
college education will benefit herself, her family,
and her community. Most recipients are in truly meager
financial circumstances and may have other hardships
or disabilities. The Jeannette Rankin Foundation is
one of the very few organizations in the country whose
educational awards target this large segment of the
population.
All applicants for this scholarship must be:
* Women, at least 35 years of age as of April 1, 2004.
* U.S. citizens.
* Pursuing a technical/vocational degree, an
associate degree, or a first bachelor's degree.
* Enrolled or accepted in an accredited school for
the fall of 2004.
* Low-income.
The deadline to apply is March 1, 2005.
