The Hancock Woman's Club announces that their annual
scholarship will be open to applicants within the ConVal School District. In the past it was available only to women
residing in Hancock. By extending the
reach, the Club hopes to be able to provide this opportunity to more qualified
women throughout our entire community.
The scholarship is provided every year to an adult woman who
is in mid-career or plans to begin, change or return to a career after some
years of family or other responsibilities.
The scholarship this year will be $1000 and awarded in May
2016.
To qualify the applicant must be a current resident within
the ConVal School District and have lived in that area for at least two
years. The applicant must be planning to
attend an educational program and will be required to provide confirmation of
her acceptance or enrollment.
Educational program refers to a recognized college, university,
technical or training school, or professional organization. The scholarship is not available for
independent study, or recreational workshops.
Since its inception in 1991 the Club has awarded
scholarships to women who have advanced their skills and positions in Nursing,
Education, Child Development and many other fields.
Application Forms are available throughout the year for the
2015-2016 scholarship. Deadline for filing is March 31. Contact Joyce Perry at 525-3304 for an
application or more information.
