FRANKLIN ― The Franklin Business and Professional Women organization is accepting applications for two scholarships: the Velma Smith Dalphond and the Jackie O'Rourke Scholarships. Through the years, Franklin BPW has continuously presented the awards to an adult female student toward their higher education.
The scholarships are awarded based on financial need, to women 22 years or older, who work or live in the Franklin BPW membership general area, and who are working toward advancing skills and their career. Ideal candidates are pursuing a certificate program, associate, or bachelor's degree for the first time. In recent years, we have awarded scholarships of $500.
An application can be found on the Franklin BPW website at bpwfranklin.org. Click on Apply Now for the application form. The deadline for application is May 15. The winner will be notified soon after and invited to the June 17 dinner meeting.
Franklin BPW organizes and markets a community calendar that tracks organizational meetings, birthdays and anniversaries. Calendar profits are used to help fund one of the annual scholarships.
