EDUCATION SUPPORT AWARD APPLICATIONS

In 2013, the Foundation will offer five Education Support Awards of up to $3000 each to assist low-income women with children who are pursuing education or training. Education Support Awards may be used for direct school expenses or for living expenses while you are enrolled in an educational program. Awardees are notified by phone or email. 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.)

• must be a woman, at least 17 years of age
