CWJC Academic Scholarship

The CWJC Academic Scholarship will benefit women who have graduated from a certified CWJC program who desire to pursue their education in a formal two or four year institution with the goal of obtaining an associates or bachelor’s degree. The participant must have demonstrated perseverance in achieving personal goals and show excellent potential for reaching her educational goals. The participant must provide a letter of acceptance to the college/university before funds will be sent.

The participant who receives this scholarship will be allowed to re-apply for this scholarship as long as she is in good standing academically; and there is no guarantee of on-going financial support after the first scholarship. Scholarships are typically $2,500 or less.
