Barbara S. Uehling Book Scholarship for Re-Entry & Non-traditional Students

Deadline 11/20/2009

Description

The UCSB Professional Women’s Association (PWA), with the support of the UCSB Bookstore, is pleased to announce the availability of book scholarships for re-entry/non-traditional students. PWA promotes the advancement of women at UCSB and serves as a voice for women in the discussion of campus issues. PWA’s goals include education, acknowledging women’s contributions to UCSB, mentoring, and outreach to the campus and community. The scholarships will be awarded to current UCSB re-entry/non-traditional students who face unique challenges in completing their degrees as they juggle being a student, parent, wage earner, community volunteer, and/or participant in co-curricular activities. UCSB defines a re-entry/non-traditional student as someone who is returning to his or her education after a period of time, and/or is married, and/or has dependents. The committee will choose the scholarship recipients based on a student’s application and financial need. Five scholarships will be awarded in the amount of $200 gift certificates to the UCSB Bookstore. Applications are available on line at, www.pwa.ucsb.edu
