Applications for Scholarships available until October 1, 2025
from GFWC Women's Club of South County
The GFWC Women’s Club of South County’s (WCSC) Scholarship Fund is committed to helping women in Washington County become self-sufficient through the pursuit of a degree and certification programs.
As they have for the past 25 years, the club receives applications from women who are returning to
school to better not only their life, but those of their families. It was decided this year to open up two scholarship cycles, Spring and Fall, so scholarships will be available twice yearly.
WCSC awarded almost $17,000 in scholarships to women in Washington County this year in the Spring cycle and additional applications are still available for the Fall cycle – until October 1 !
