The Jacksonian Charter Chapter of the American Business Women's Association is now taking applications for scholarships for the fall semester of 1995.

In order to qualify for a scholarship, candidates must adhere to the criteria set forth by the ABWA including, but not limited to four standards.

Students applying for scholarships must be residents of Cape Girardeau County. Applicants must include in their application a biographical statement. The application must be filled out in its entirety and students must include a copy of their current transcript and maintain a grade point average of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale.

The deadline for applying is March 31. Applicants will be selected by the full membership of ABWA and recipients will be notified in a letter of the scholarship amount by the first week of May. Amounts will be determined by the ABWA membership during the April meeting with scholarships ranging from $100 to $500.
