University women offer scholarships

Students can apply for two scholarships from the Stanwood-Camano branch of the American Association of University Women.

Thanks to money raised at the annual AAUW art show at the Floyd Norgaard Center and from sales of the group’s cookbook, “Artful Appetizers,” the local branch will award two scholarships of $2,500 each.

Applicants must be residents of the Arlington, Stanwood and Camano Island area or they must be past graduates of Stanwood, Lincoln Hill, Lakewood or Arlington high schools. In addition, applicants must have completed at least two years of college or university by June 2009 and have verifiable plans to continue upper-division or graduate work at an accredited four-year school next fall.

Applicants are asked to submit college transcripts, two confidential letters of recommendation, a brief personal statement and a 300-word essay about their relationship to the AAUW mission.
