Each year, our club provides educational support awards to 2-4 women who are primary financial supporters for their family and are working to get additional training or education to increase their financial stability.  Applications are open in mid-November and due at end of the year.  A review committee works to determine the winners and awards are given in March.  The winner also can compete at the district and national levels.
