The American Association of University Women Seaside Scholarship Foundation announces the April 5 deadline for applying for a $2,000 scholarship. This scholarship is awarded annually to a female resident from northwestern Oregon or southwestern Washington who is enrolled or planning to enroll in a degree program. The candidate must have been out of high school five or more years. The award may be used at the college or university of the candidate’s choice for tuition, fees, and textbooks only. The application is available at http://seaside-or.aauw.net under “Foundation.”

The Seaside AAUW Branch of the national AAUW organization was established in 1943. Nationally, AAUW has a long and distinguished history of advancing educational and professional opportunities for women in the United Sates and around the globe. Locally, we provide scholarships for women and girls wanting to attend college to further their education. Since the early 1990’s the Scholarship Foundation has provided more than $25,000 for women returning to college five or more years after high school graduation.
