Scholarships for Low-Income Women

The Jeannette Rankin Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds for, and awarding grants to, low-income women, age 35 and older. Each award recipient has a vision of how a college education will benefit herself, her family, and her community. Most recipients are in truly meager financial circumstances and may have other hardships or disabilities. The Jeannette Rankin Foundation is one of the very few organizations in the country whose educational awards target this large segment of the population.

All applicants for this scholarship must be:

  • Women, at least 35 years of age as of April 1, 2004.
  • U.S. citizens.
  • Pursuing a technical/vocational degree, an associate degree, or a first bachelor's degree.
  • Enrolled or accepted in an accredited school for the fall of 2004.
  • Low-income.

To find the exact income guidelines for this program (ex. for one person, $11,160 year), or to apply, go to: http://www.rankinfoundation.org. You can also contact the Foundation office directly at 706-208-1211.
