Assist Scholarship

Executive Women International Salt Lake City Chapter is pleased to announce it is offering assistance to adults in the community who are in transitional situations and are in need of financial aid to further their education in their career pursuit. These awards are made possible through the Adult Students in Scholastic Transition (ASIST) Program.

The criteria to be used to pre-screen the candidates are as follows:
· financial need
· socially, physically and economically disadvantaged adults
· heads of households with small children
· displaced homemakers

Applicants must meet the following eligibility requirements:
· utilize personal assessment and/or re-entry programs available through colleges, community agencies, service groups, or career professionals
· clearly define career goals and objectives
· specify the educational requirements to attain above goals and objectives

The recipients may select the career path of choice, and any assistance received is an award, not requiring repayment. Awards will be distributed to educational providers by the Executive Women International Salt Lake City Chapter. First place will
receive $4,000, second place will receive $3,000 and third place will receive $2,000. An additional scholarship of $1270 generously donated by member firm SYSCO International will be awarded as well.
