Lombard Area AAUW Dickson/Mosillo Return to Learning Scholarship

The Lombard Area Branch of Association of University Women (AAUW) is honoring two of its longtime members by endowing its annual scholarships with a fund at DuPage Foundation to help local women advance their education.

The “Return to Learning” scholarship award will be given to women who are either presently enrolled in an accredited two- or four-year college, university or technical school or who are planning to return to school after an interruption in their education to complete an undergraduate or master’s degree, or a certification program at an accredited institution. To be eligible, applicants must reside in one of the following cities: Addison, Glen Ellyn, Glendale Heights, Lombard, Oakbrook Terrace, Villa Park, or Wheaton.

This year’s scholarship will be $5,000. Special consideration will be given to applicants who are pursuing studies in the Science, Technology, Engineering or Math (STEM) fields.

An independent committee at DuPage Foundation will review applications for the “Return to Learning” scholarship and recommend recipients to the Foundation’s Board of Trustees for selection.
