The Carrie Chapman Catt Center is accepting applications for the 2001-2002 Legacy of Heroines Scholars Program. Various donors have established different criteria for their scholars. For example, for the 2001-2002 program, specific scholarships are open to women studying performing arts, physics and math.
General scholarships are available for women interested in community service.
Five additional scholarships are open to women from Polk County who demonstrate financial need. The purpose of the program is to prepare young women for a role in politics and public service in ways that may enhance their careers or serve as enrichment in their lives. The scholarship requires attendance at regular meetings. An opportunity also may be available to receive credit for participation through the Legacy of Heroines Learning Community.
