Women Empowering Women Scholarship

Application

About the Program: The Women Empowering Women Scholarship is designed to remove some of the barriers for refugee and immigrant women returning to school in Canada so that they may secure more sustainable employment in Canada. This scholarship is intended to sponsor their education so that women may graduate and enter the workforce without incurring debt that may affect their ability to support themselves and their families. The scholarship pays for tuition and student fees at an accredited post secondary college or university. Participating women will also benefit from a mentor who provides support, encouragement and direction related to seeking and securing employment. It is hoped that women in receipt of a “Women Empowering Women” Scholarship will be active participants in the community of London.

Application Process: The application process is two parts. First is the written application. Second is an interview with a member of the Women and Philanthropy group, and a member of the London InterCommunity Health Centre. We are currently selecting applicants for the September 2012 academic year. We reserve the right to not select any candidates if our criteria are not met. Women will be supported through this application process in order to reduce barriers to accessing this opportunity.

Application deadline: Friday, March 2, 2012 at 5:00pm

ü Be a resident of London and Middlesex and an immigrant or refugee with permanent residency or be pursuing residency
