These scholarships remove the major financial barrier to higher education, enabling deserving women to become more independent, productive and economically secure.
Each event features a special guest who shares her wisdom on various important issues affecting women. Past speakers have included such renowned women as Nancy Giles, Sedena Campanelli and Nancy Hogshead-Makar.
Our next Wise Woman event will be scheduled for March 2009. Details will be posted here as soon as they are available.
