VFRW Political Studies Scholarships
The VFRW awards two $1,000 scholarships annually to young women who are undergraduate or graduate students enrolled in an accredited Virginia college or university, studying government, political science, or law. The purpose of the scholarship is to reflect on the cause of good government and to promote political activism and savvy.
The VFRW instituted the Political Studies Scholarship in 2005, under the presidency of Kendall Rhodes. The scholarship had been a long time goal of Mrs. Rhodes to begin this important education initiative during her tenure as president of the VFRW. The Education Committee Co-Chairmen, Mary Ann Conrad and Carole Lougheed, assisted in facilitating this initiative.
To apply:
1. Submit the application form and a 500 word typed essay entitled: "Political Activism and the Roll of the Republican Woman"
2. Submit a copy of your Resume, listing educational and professional interests and achievements.
The deadline for submission is March 22, 2012. Scholarships will be paid directly to the designated school. The winners will be announced at the 2012 VFRW Convention.
