Moravian College was chosen as a grant agent by the Foundation. Applicants demonstrate their academic ability and a commitment to their educational goals by completing at least half the credits necessary for their degree. Women whose education has been interrupted by marriage and family responsibilities or by work will receive special consideration.
Academic performance is also important.
The need for scholarships will be based on the individual woman's successful completion of the equivalent of two years of college education, evidence of self motivation, the lack of available cash-flow of funds to support college expenses for tuition, books, and incidental fees, and the woman's need to work to support herself and her family and pay for her college education. An assessment of your essay combined with information returned from the other aid forms submitted will be used to determine your Newcombe grant. Recipients of the scholarships will be expected to correspond with the foundation while they are receiving assistance and to participate in graduation ceremonies. Newcombe Scholarships will be awarded on a yearly basis beginning with the Fall semester. Pick up and return the completed scholarship application with attached essay to the CGS Office at Moravian College by June 15 for 2000-2001 academic year.
