NCCWSL Scholarship Opportunity

For years AAUW has been offering leadership opportunities to women. Now there is an exciting opportunity for leadership skills designed for women still in the process of receiving their education.

The National Conference for College Women Student Leaders (NCCWSL) Conference sponsored by AAUW national usually takes place at the University of Maryland, College Park. However, due to COVID, the conference will be held virtually May 25 & 26, 2021. The conference provides leadership training that has received rave reviews.

AAUW-WI is offering twelve $125 scholarships to Wisconsin college student leaders to attend the NCCWSL (Pronounced “Nick-Whistle”). The $125 scholarship will cover the registration fees. Contact the AAUW Tomah Branch to apply by March 1, 2021: AAUWTomah@gmail.com.

To learn more about the conference, go to aauw.org and search NCCWSL, or NCCWSL.org.
