BPW Foundation Career Advancement Scholarship
BPW Foundation’s mission is to empower working women to achieve their full potential and to partner with employers to build successful workplaces. The BPW Foundation was established in 1956 to promote equity for workingwomen through education, information, research, and financial assistance as well as to serve as a resource on issues affecting women in the workplace.
The BPW Foundation is supported by foundations, corporations, BPW/USA members, and other individuals who share a common belief in equity for working- women. The BPW Foundation, a 501(c)(3) tax deductible organization, has awarded more than $6 million in loans, scholarships, and grants to over 8,000 women seeking to improve their lives.
Central to the BPW Foundation’s mission is the belief that support for women at crucial points in their lives enables them to help themselves. The BPW Foundation established the Career Advancement Scholarship Program in 1969 to provide financial assistance to disadvantaged women seeking to further their education. Scholarships are provided to women, 25 years of age or older, who wish to advance in their careers, or are soon to enter or re-enter the workforce.
BPW Foundation receives approximately 1,000 Career Advancement Scholarship applications each year for between 50 and 100 awards. Award amounts range from $1,000 to $2,000. Scholars for this year’s competition will be notified by July 31, 2007.
