The Scholarships – Eligibility and How To Apply.

The Foundation currently distributes scholarships annually to mature women, aged 35 or older, living in the areas served by the South Shore Women’s Business Network (Plymouth, Bristol, Norfolk, Suffolk, and Middlesex Counties) who are embarking on a career transition. To find out how the scholarships have made a difference, learn more about some of our past recipients.

Candidates must meet eligibility requirements, and are subject to a rigorous review and interview process. It will be awarded to a mature woman enrolled in a training or educational program, which will result in a career change. Consideration will be given to special circumstances that have been overcome and the goals of the applicant. The Educational Foundation Scholarships are approximately $1,000.00.

In June of 2009, six scholarships were distributed to women who were looking to improve their employability by furthering their education.
