Each year, Women In Focus, Inc. awards scholarships to deserving college-bound male and female students of color who have been selected by the WIF Scholarship Review Committee. Proceeds from the organization’s annual “I Have a Dream” Scholarship Banquet and Ball, as well as contributions from supporters are used in funding the awards.
Women In Focus, Inc. offers different types of scholarships:
- The majority of our scholarships are awarded to graduating high school students seeking to continue their education post-high school through an undergraduate degree, trade-school program, technical college or other post-high school degree or certification.
- Additional scholarships are awarded to adult students who after a significant gap in their education, are continuing their education through an undergraduate degree, trade-school program, technical college or other post-high school degree or certification.
On November 1st of each year, the updated application for WIF scholarships goes live on this website. Our scholarships are awarded to both men and women of color. Please check the application for requirements.
Each spring, WIF honors the student awardees at a reception. This is a wonderful opportunity for WIF members, sponsor representatives and family members to meet all the students and hear them speak briefly. We are proud to congratulate our awardees and to encourage them to succeed in their education.
Applications open November 1st of each year and close in February of the following year.
