SCHOLARSHIPS
Phyllis
Holt's intent for this scholarship program was in the
spirit of helping educate those women who have little
or no means by which to obtain an education.
Criteria
for Network of Executive Women Scholarship Awards
The
primary objective of the Network of Executive Women
scholarship awards is to offer scholarships to women
in need of financial assistance for educational undergraduate
degrees, retraining, or certification purposes.
Each
year, scholarships are provided to women who, in
our estimation, could best realize their potential
by continuing their education. The aim of this
scholarship award is to give the recipients enough
education to find meaningful employment, better their
present position, or re-enter the work force.
