AWCA Scholarship program |
Named after a 1927 founding member of the American Women’s Club of Amsterdam, the Carolyn Korthals Altes Scholarship assists an AWCA member, or the child or grandchild of an AWCA member, in pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree at an accredited or otherwise recognized post-secondary institution in any country.
The available scholarships are:
In 2022, each scholarship was €1500. We will not award a scholarship in a Club year lacking a qualified applicant.
By January 1 in the year following the application, all scholarship winners shall be enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program of study at an accredited or otherwise recognized post-secondary institution in any country. This program may lead to an undergraduate or graduate degree or professional certification that contributes significantly to the applicant’s professional knowledge or expertise (depending on the scholarship received). Evidence of enrollment must be provided by January 1 to receive the scholarship money. In unforeseen extenuating circumstances, a recipient may receive a one-year deferment if approved by the AWCA Executive Board.
The scholarship application process traditionally begins in February. The application deadline is in April, and winners will be notified in May. The AWCA President presents the scholarships to the recipients or their designees during the June General Meeting. The application package includes all relevant dates. Members can also find the important application dates on the calendar, in the newsletter and social media posts.
You will find the rules, eligibility and instructions in the application package. You will also need to download, complete and submit this cover sheet with your other application materials. To ensure a fair review, applications are always reviewed “blind.” All mentions of your name, the AWCA member to whom you are related, and any other identifying information will be removed from your application materials prior to review by the Scholarship Committee. Good luck!
