Local Scholarships

This interest group works through the Financial Aid office at Cabrillo College, http://www.cabrillo.edu/services/finaid/scholarshipbinder.html and STARS at UCSC, http://stars.ucsc.edu/.  We award scholarships to women over 25 who are reentering the academic world after interrupting or not starting college immediately after high school for any number of reasons.  Interested applicants should contact the offices mentioned above at Cabrillo and UCSC.

We encourage donations to this tax–exempt fund. Donors who wish to support this worthwhile project can send checks, made out to AAUW Santa Cruz Branch Local scholarships, to: Doreen ODonovan, 304 Coates Dr, Aptos, CA 95003.
