College Club of Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Scholarship

On September 23, 1911, forty women hosted an afternoon tea, inviting all Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ women who had attended a college or university. his gathering marked the informal beginning of the College Club of Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ. The club was formally organized in 1916 when its members filed Articles of Incorporation with the state, proclaiming the club's purpose to be "promoting the interests of the college-bred women of Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ and vicinity and to arouse an interest in college work."

In 1922, College Club established The College Club of Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Scholarship at The University of Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ to support local women in earning a baccalaureate degree from Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ. The scholarship was endowed in 1999, and College Club has continued to raise funds for it since. In 2024, the endowed scholarship benefited from the generosity of Miss Carolyn Affleck, a dedicated supporter of the scholarship fund. That same year, the scholarship also underwent a revision.

The College Club of Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Scholarship will be awarded to students pursuing degrees in majors or fields that will contribute to the well-being of the greater community. It is available to full-time students or part-time students who are employed.

The University Scholarship Committee in the Office of Student Financial Aid will identify a list of eligible candidates that meet the preferences of the College Club of Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ.
