ASIST (Adult Students in Scholastic Transition) Scholarship

Executive Women International Philadelphia offers assistance to adults in the Delaware Valley 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 our Adult Students in Scholastic Transition (ASIST) Program.  The criteria used to evaluate 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 defined career goals and objectives
• specify the educational requirements to attain the above goals and objectives

The recipients may select the career path of choice, and any assistance received is an award, not requiring repayment.  Awards are distributed to educational providers by the Executive Women International Philadelphia Chapter in September. 

Applications are now being accepted for Fall tuition!
