The Professional Business-Women of California (PBWC) offers scholarships for young women through its PBWC Young Women’s Scholarship Program. This program is designed to provide financial assistance and mentorship opportunities to young women who are planning to pursue higher education.
The application process includes submitting an online application form, transcripts, letters of recommendation, and a personal statement. The personal statement should describe the applicant’s goals and aspirations, academic achievements, extracurricular activities, and any challenges they have overcome.
Scholarship recipients receive up to $5,000 per year, which can be used to cover tuition, fees, books, and other educational expenses. In addition, recipients are paired with a mentor who is a member of the PBWC community. The mentor provides guidance and support to the scholarship recipient throughout their academic journey.
