Making a Difference for Working Women
Every woman has the potential to move ahead, but sometimes she needs extra encouragement and financial support for continuing education. The Arizona Business and Professional Women's Foundation was established in 1989 to further advance Arizona's working women through research, education, and scholarships. Our programs are designed to help women achieve economic freedom and more rewarding careers.
Giving to Change the Future
Twenty scholarships were awarded for the 2007/2008 school year. Nine of the scholarships went to continuing students. Scholarships were awarded to students at the following community colleges: Arizona Western, Chandler-Gilbert, Eastern Arizona, Gateway, Glendale, Mohave, Paradise Valley, Phoenix, Pima, and Yavapai. Continuing scholarship recipients attend ASU and NAU. One recipient is attending the Refrigeration School with a scholarship designed for women seeking an education for a non-traditional career.
