Three similar scholarships will also be awarded to the High Potential Program (HPP) participants in Saint Mary's College. HPP participants are all first generation college students.
Students are encouraged to apply for these scholarships by the deadline of Feb. 15. Application information may be obtained at the branch website: oml-ca.aauw.net or the school counseling office. Each candidate will be personally interviewed by a two-member team from the AAUW OML branch. Awards will be announced at a celebratory event in April.
Fundraising for these scholarships began earlier this year. During February, Pat Rudebusch, Orinda Books owner, again generously offered to host a Book Fair by featuring a special AAUW table to "Treat Your Shelf" with a variety of?books recommended by AAUW members. The books will represent different genres and many will be newly released. For a detailed book list with brief synopsis, check the list online at oml-ca.aauw.net |
