Each academic year, Women's Council sets aside money to provide Professional Enrichment Grant for Women. Full-time junior, senior or fifth-year women are eligible to apply for grants to obtain professional experience in an anticipated career. For example, a grant could be awarded to cover the registration fee of a professional conference or experience. Typically, the maximum amount of a grant will be $300. Applications will be received Aug. 1 through May 1. To apply for the grant, women must complete the application and provide a reference from a faculty member in their major area. Grants will be awarded on a first-come basis. Each student is eligible for one grant per year.
Dear Bluffton University Women’s Council,
I am so thankful for the Professional Enrichment Grant for Women. The dietetic trip to Denver, Colo., was a wonderful learning experience. I attended interesting seminars. I also joined Dietetic Practice group called “Hunger, Nutrition and Environment.” I feel that I made some connections with people and organizations that will be very helpful down the road.
Thank you for supporting young women like me who are on the professional development journey!
