MWIB announces scholarship

43

Maricopa Women in Business (MWIB) is sponsoring a new scholarship program for a female Maricopa student. To qualify for the scholarship, the female student must be a U.S. citizen, have at least a 2.75 grade point average (or equivalent in standardized testing results for a home-schooled senior), and be either a senior-level student home-schooled in Maricopa or a senior attending Maricopa High School.

Qualified seniors may apply by completing the application, available at the MWIB web site or at the Maricopa High School Guidance Department.

Kristen Carr, president of MWIB, stated, “We are happy to provide this opportunity to a deserving young woman who has worked hard and could use some help to further her education.”

Deadline for submitting an application is May 1, 2006. This year’s scholarship, which will be awarded on May 17 at the Maricopa High School Awards Banquet, will be for $500, to be used at the college or vocational school of the recipient’s choice.

For questions about the scholarship, please see the MWIB web site, or e-mail the group at [email protected].
