[Cpcommunicator] WINGS Scholarship opportunity for women
>From Shane Jeter
The WINGS Scholarship--Women Initiating and Nurturing Growth Through
Scholarships--is a scholarship program for women at Charlotte-area
colleges and universities, women who are 25 or older who need help
overcoming the obstacles that stand in the way of achieving their goals.
A woman who receives a WINGS scholarship has a clear educational and
career plan; she has proven her ability to accomplish not only academic
work but to do well in other facets of life. Her own personal vision is
so strong that people cannot help but want to support her in it.
The WINGS Scholarship provides financial support but also offers
something potentially even more valuable. Two or more seasoned, active,
executive or professional women chosen for the specific expertise they
can bring to the recipients plan for herself are assigned as mentors to
every WINGS recipient. What these mentors give is their own experience,
perspectives, counsel, networks, and personal support - what they give
is themselves.
Eligible applicants will be considered who....
* Have a clear sense for what they want to achieve through education
and a plan for doing it.
* Have successfully completed some post-high school studies with a
grade-point average of 2.5 whether they are currently enrolled or not.
* Have shown not only in their studies but in other ways that they are
serious about their personal and career goals.
* Are U.S. citizens
* Are at least 25 years old.
* Meet eligibility criteria to receive financial aid
* Are the major source of financial support for themselves and/or their
children, or need retraining in order to achieve higher earnings or
greater financial security.
If you are interested in applying for this wonderful scholarship
opportunity for the upcoming 2007-2008 school year, please come by the
Financial Aid office (Central High Building, Room 206) to pick up a
