Scholarship Program

Each year, the Asian Women Entrepreneurs (AWE) will offer several one thousand dollars ($1,000) scholarships to students who are matriculating at the School of Business/Management toward earning their BA degree. The scholarships are awarded based upon the applicant’s service to, and/or leadership in the community, and on the applicant’s commitment to continue providing such service and/or leadership.

The Scholarship Committee encourages students of all races to apply, as the scholarships will be awarded without consideration to the applicant’s race or ethnic origins.

The applications are due by the first week of August each year. The scholarships will be presented at AWE’s Annual Luncheon in September.

AWE provides equal opportunities to all applicants regardless of sex, race, color, marital status, religion, ancestry, national origin, or other non-merit related factors
