Deadline to apply for Women's Chamber of Commerce scholarships next week

News Release:

The Women’s Chamber of Commerce of KCK offers scholarships to Wyandotte County non-traditional female students.

One example of such a student might be a mother returning to college for more training.

The scholarship application deadline is Monday, April 30. Access the application by visiting www.womenschamberkck.org and clicking on the Scholarship tab on the website.

College scholarships for women are considered with increased importance these days due to the rising cost of pursuing higher education.

Education not only develops the personality and rationality of individuals, but prepares them to fulfill certain economic, political and cultural functions, and in that way improves their socio-economic status.

Award winners will be announced before August, 2012.

Members of the Women’s Chamber fundraise year-round in order to finance these scholarship opportunities.
