Attention Mamas Going Back to School!
The 2018 S.P.R.O.W.T Scholarship for Non-Traditional Female Students is Now Accepting Applications!
Are you hoping to further your education but having trouble finding the time and money required to get back to school? We encourage you to check out Dr. Christa Clark's annual S.P.R.O.W.T. (Supporting Promoting Real Opportunities for Women to Thrive) Scholarship.
This $2,500 scholarship was launched to help non-traditional, female Californian students. A self-described late pre-med boomer herself, Dr. Clark has a great appreciation for the unique challenges of navigating a university degree as an adult and she hopes to offset some of the financial challenges women returning to school may face.
Scholarship eligibility
The S.P.R.O.W.T. Scholarship is open to non-traditional, female students who live in California and plan on attending college or university in-state. Eligible applicants must be considered a “non-traditional” student by the National Center for Education Statistics standard definition, which requires meeting one or more of the criteria below:
● Delayed enrollment into higher education;
● Part-time college student;
● Works full time;
● Has dependents other than a spouse;
● Is a single parent;
● Does not have a high school diploma.
How you can apply for the S.P.R.O.W.T. Scholarship
If you meet one or more of the criteria above, we encourage you to apply via Dr. Clark’s website by 5 PM PDT on August 31, 2018. Download the application, answer all the questions to the best of your ability, provide original answers to essay questions, and submit your completed form through the easy uploader.
The recipient chosen by the Scholarship Committee will be awarded $2,500 to be used for educational experiences, including tuition, supplies, textbooks, transportation, and housing.
Best of luck, everyone!
