In 2000 Professional Women of Winston-Salem (PWWS) established a Scholarship Fund for single mothers who reside in Forsyth County and seek to advance themselves through higher education. The fund will provide at least $500 for tuition and books for one semester or quarter of study at an accredited institution. Qualifying students may apply for more than one semester. However, an application packet must be completed each time.
"Our organization wants to encourage women to go back to school, but we know how hard it can be for some single mothers who are juggling parenting and working," stated Hilary Kosloske, former president of PWWS. The organization hopes to grow the scholarship fund so that more money will be available in future years.
To apply, any interested woman can either contact the Financial Aid Office at her college for application materials or download the application materials from this site. Application packets must be complete to be considered. Application deadlines are shown on the application forms and supporting materials.
PWWS encourages all interested women to apply. For more information, send an email to info@pwws.org.
PWWS is open to all professional women in the community and meets monthly to network and learn from speakers selected to complement the goals of the organization.
