The Clayton State Women's Forum announces their
6th Annual Scholarship Competition for 2009. Scholarship opportunities are as follows:
- Women’s
Forum General Student Scholarship @ $1000.
One
or more students will be awarded Need-Based Scholarships (each for
$1000). Though students have access to financial aid, often times
this is not enough. Since many of Clayton State’s students are
non-traditional, many have trouble with basic expenses such as
childcare, transportation, laptop computers, calculators, and more.
The $1000 would be used to assist scholarship recipients in meeting
these expenses. All applicants must be female
and must be a student who has completed at least one semester
at Clayton State and have at least two semesters remaining before
graduation. The application deadline is the Monday after the week of
Spring Break during Spring Semester.
- Women’s
Forum Student Success Emergency Scholarship @ up to $1000. This
scholarship would be available for students who are within two
semesters of completing her program, have a 2.5 GPA or higher, and
have a sudden emergency during a semester (documentation to support
the emergency must be provided) that would prevent her from
continuing to attend classes without some financial assistance. The
maximum amount a student could receive would be $1000. All
applicants must be female and must be a student who is within two semesters of
graduation and must have applied for graduation. This scholarship is
given on an “as needed” and “as funds are available” basis.
There is no deadline; however, once all the designated funds are
used, no other “emergency” scholarships will be available.
- Women’s
Forum Staff Member Professional Development Scholarship @ $250. One
or more staff members will be awarded Professional
Development Scholarships (each for $250). Though staff members have
access to tuition reimbursement and even sometimes travel funds, the
Women’s Forum would like to fund two professional development
scholarships for staff members. All applicants must be female
and must be a fulltime regular employee of Clayton State and
must have been a fulltime employee at Clayton State for a minimum of
one year. The application deadline is the Monday after the week of
Spring Break during Spring Semester.
