2019 AAUW Scholarship Application
The Fergus Falls branch of the American Association of University Women is pleased to announce that it is once again offering scholarships. There is no age limit for applicants, and women who are graduating from high school, attending or returning to college, in transition, or making career changes are all encouraged to apply. Women of all race, ethnicity, and cultural backgrounds are urged to submit an application.
The following scholarships will be awarded in 2019:
Two $1,500 scholarships.
One $1,500 Georgia Nagatomo Dieseth scholarship for a woman who has demonstrated an interest in the Arts (music, drama, writing, art).
It is important for applicants to realize that the scholarships will be granted on the basis of the "whole person," not simply performance on standardized tests or grade point averages. General factors that will be taken into consideration are the following: leadership, dedication to lifelong learning, completion of the essay, life experiences, extracurricular activities, and the applicant appraisal forms.
Only one application packet needs to be submitted, even if you are applying under different scholarship categories. If there is not enough space for your responses on the scholarship application form, please attach additional pages. Please be sure to ask two people to complete the applicant appraisal form. These forms should be completed by a high school or college counselor, advisor or mentor, an instructor, or a work supervisor. Please remember that you must have TWO applicant recommendation forms in order for your scholarship application packet to be considered complete.
Completed application packets must be returned to the address at the bottom of the application and be postmarked no later than Friday, March 15, 2019. Scholarship winners will be invited to attend a May 2018 branch meeting.
Scholarship money cannot be deferred and will need to be used for the 2019-2020 school year.
Please contact Jaime Price Anderson at (218)770-3111(cell) if you have any questions.
