Applications will be available in the Office of Women's Programs, Room 300 Student Services Building.
Further details are on the application.
Verdell Frazier Young Awards are intended to encourage and assist women in continuing their interrupted education. The interruption must have been for at least one year at some point in the formal education. Preference is given to those who have had an interruption of two years or more prior to the completion of an undergraduate degree. Financial need and academic attainment will also be used to determine eligibility for the award. Amounts awarded vary.
