The General Federation of Women's Clubs is a national leader in the fight to end domestic violence. To emphasize our dedication in tackling this societal issue, GFWC implemented the Success for Survivors Scholarship in 2011. A $3,000 non-renewable scholarship is awarded to help survivors of domestic or sexual violence obtain a post-secondary education that will offer them the chance to reshape their future by securing employment and gaining personal independence. Candidates must be enrolled or planning to enroll at an accredited public or private post-secondary school, including community colleges, technical schools, and four-year universities. Applicants should check with their school enrollment or financial aid office to confirm accreditation. Applicants also may visit the U.S. Department of Education website at www.ope.ed.gov/accreditation. Scholarships are for post-secondary study only.
