Guelph Women in Networking (GWIN) offers one $1,000 scholarship to one female college or university student each year.
GWIN believes in encouraging young women to excel in their chosen field of study, officials state in a press release. That’s why it offers a scholarship to one female student each school year.
Recipients are women who strive for academic excellence, show responsibility and leadership, are involved in their local, and scholastic community, and are working towards a career that will advocate, promote, or enhance the success of women.
For this year’s scholarships, officials encourage all qualified, interested women to download a copy of the application form and to review all submission requirements online, by going to www.gwin.ca/scholarship.
All qualifying applicants must be female, in a full-time college or university student program of study that is over 30 weeks in duration. They must be enrolled in first year of studies or have completed at least one year of studies, and must be a permanent resident of Wellington County, or a registered student at a college or university in Wellington County.
All submissions must be received by, or post-marked for, May 31. The successful candidate will be notified by mail by July 1, and will contacted by phone in the first week of September to confirm details of her formal introduction to the GWIN membership which will be held during GWIN’s regular dinner meeting, the first Tuesday in October.
The successful candidate must be available to attend the October GWIN dinner meeting as she will be awarded her scholarship.
All applications will be kept for a minimum of six months and a maximum of 12 months and will then be destroyed. All applications will be treated confidentially.
