LINK for Women Scholarships
Each year LINK for Women offers scholarships to women pursuing post-secondary education at an accredited institution of higher learning. Scholarships are awarded to female applicants who are nominated by a LINK for Women member or to members themselves pursuing further education in the upcoming year.
Recipients are selected based on personal/professional potential, scholastic ability, extracurricular activities, and contributions to the community.
These scholarships are made possible solely by funds raised through our annual fundraiser each fall. To date, LINK for Women has awarded over $545,000 in scholarships to women in northeast Wisconsin.
Applications are accepted each year from January 1 to March 1.
Recipients are selected in early April and will be notified shortly thereafter with the next steps.
Scholarships are presented at our May meeting.
Questions regarding our Scholarship program can be emailed to the Awards Chair at awards@linkforwomen.org.
