The deadline for submission via ScholarshipRetriever is Friday, April 9, 2020.
This common application which is called Women's Center: Returning Women Students 2021-2022 in ScholarshipRetiever enables eligible students to apply for more than one of the Returning Women Students Scholarships with just one submission. Please note that this opportunity to apply will only appear in ScholarshipRetriever to students who meet the scholarship qualifications.

Undergraduate students of any gender over the age of 25 and with at least 60 credits and 2.5 GPA may be eligible. Students must be completing their first undergraduate degree.
If a student does not meet these requirements, the scholarship opportunity will not appear on ScholarshipRetriever. Students who have not completed the FAFSA will not see the opportunity in ScholarshipRetriever. Students who wish to still be considered despite not meeting these requirements should contact the Women's Center directly. This encouragement to reach out directly to the Women's Center extends to students who have extenuating circumstances (i.e. students who are DACA/undocumented) that may prevent them from completing the FAFSA.
Students who are selected to be scholars are required to participate in the Returning Women Students Scholars + Affiliates program. For more information about the program, visit our website and be sure to attend an information session.
