LOCAL SCHOLARSHIPS

High School Students: Zonta Club of Jacksonville Young Women in Public Affairs Award - $1,000

Each year, the Zonta Club of Jacksonville offers The Young Women in Public Affairs Awards to a local young woman in recognition of her leadership in public policy, government and volunteer organizations. All pre-university and pre-college women students ages 16 - 19 are encouraged to apply. Because Zonta International recognizes the international need for increased participation of women in public affairs at all levels, the Young Women in Public Affairs Award hopes to encourage young women to pursue careers in government, public policy, and community organizations. Zonta looks to the young women of today to become the leaders of tomorrow.

Applications for the 2011 scholarships will be due by March 1, 2011. The winner of the Jacksonville Club award in 2011 will receive $1,000 and go on to compete for another $1,000 award from the District. Then District winners vie for one of five $3000 prizes at the international level.
