Education
| Marilyn, a former education client, earned her BA in psychology with WWIN’s financial assistance. She is now working full time for the Department of Defense as a new parent support home visitor. She works with local counselors, Bremerton Navy Hospital and other community resources to help prevent child abuse and to support families with soldiers on active duty. She said of the families she serves, “They are having a tough time in this war and I am honored to assist them.” |
The WWIN Education Grant provides assistance for tuition and books at accredited institutions in the state of Washington. The WWIN grant is the last funding source applied to tuition and book expenses, after all federal and private grants and scholarships. This means that women will only be eligible for WWIN funding if other grants and scholarships received do not fully cover costs of tuition and books. The WWIN Education Grant funds low-income women throughout the State of Washington based on financial criteria, even distribution to schools, and order in which the application was received.
In order to apply, women must be enrolled in the school of their choice and have completed the federal financial aid (FAFSA) form. WWIN can fund any level of degree or vocational certification through a Bachelor's degree, including GED completion. In order to receive funding, students must maintain at least a 2.5 grade point average and be eligible for in-state tuition at accredited institutions.
Next Opening: To Be Announced. Please check back in Fall, 2008.
