It is a goal of the Fund to assure access to the Program for all qualified women, regardless of ability to pay. For some, completing the 250-hour internship component of the Program means losing income. Women from disadvantaged backgrounds and frequently under-represented groups need tuition assistance in order to participate in the Program. Established in 1992, the Fund has provided scholarships each academic year to women in the Program who have demonstrated academic excellence, a commitment to public service, as well as financial need. The Fund seeks support from private donors, corporate sponsors, and foundations to increase the number and value of scholarships it can provide.
All contributions are tax deductible.
