Women who enroll at Jefferson Community College full time this fall are eligible for a special scholarship.

The college’s Women’s Organization is awarding 10 $500 scholarships based upon “academic standing, evidence of self-development and citizenship and financial need,” according to a statement.

For the freshman scholarship, applicants must have obtained a 3.25 or better grade-point average and either be students who have never attended college or have fewer than 10 undergraduate credit hours. For the continuing student scholarship, a student must obtain a grade-point average of 3.0 and have accumulated no more than 48 undergraduate credit hours.

The deadline for submissions is July 27. Previous Women’s Organization scholarship recipients may not apply.

For more information, call the JCC Financial Services Office at 786-2355.
