JWC of Raleigh Endowment ScholarshipThe Junior Woman’s Club (JWC) of Raleigh is a non-profit, civic organization for women, ages 18-45, committed to promoting volunteerism, improving our community, and fostering new friendships. We award a scholarship annually from our club’s Endowment Fund, established in 1983 in honor of Marha L. Dobbins.

Individuals may apply to the JWC of Raleigh Endowment Fund Scholarship Committee for tuition and fees affiliated with attendance at an institution of higher learning. The 2012 total scholarship distribution will be up to $2,000. The scholarship committee may choose to award the entire amount to one student or divide it between two students.
