In 2012, the Foundation will offer five Education Support Awards of up to $2000 each to assist low-income women with children who are pursuing education or training.

Shortly after recipient notification, the list of awardees is posted on this site. (Please note: The Foundation will contact awardees only. We are not able to contact each applicant about the status of her application.)
