Scholarship Opportunity for High School Senior Women

In 2011, with the help of a legacy gift in remembrance of one of our past members, DCWC established the scholarship fund.

The Dayton Catholic Women's Club is pleased to offer a $1,000 scholarship to high school senior women who meet the following criteria:

• Must be a graduating female from a high school in the Dayton area.
• Must be an active member of a Dayton-area Roman Catholic Church.
• Must demonstrate financial need.

The scholarship can be used at an accredited technical school, junior college, community college, or four-year college/university.
