GLORIA FEIGENBAUM SCHOLARSHIP FOR WOMEN RETURNING TO SCHOOL

PURPOSE:
The Gloria Feigenbaum Endowed Scholarship was created by family, friends and associates at the University of Arizona in memory of Gloria Feigenbaum, an active staff member and champion for women’s rights during her career at The University of Arizona. She was a member of the committee to form the original Tucson Women’s Commission and was appointed to serve on the first Arizona Women’s Commission. Gloria Feigenbaum was also the founder of the Youth University at UA, and creatively sought to involve young and old in the continuation of education on the college campus.

This scholarship was created to provide support for women who have previously attended college, but have had to interrupt their education for two or more years. Candidates must apply and be accepted at the University of Arizona as either full- or part- time students and demonstrate financial need through the FAFSA process.

VALUE:
For the 2015-2016 academic year a $2,000.00 scholarship will be awarded to a student who best meets the criteria.

APPLICATION PROCESS:

The documents necessary for application are the following:
1. Application Form
