Eligibility Criteria and Application Procedures

The Yale University Women’s Organization offers Scholarship Awards for Continuing Education to women in the Yale Community whose formal education has been interrupted or delayed, and who wish to resume their studies or enhance their careers in a college level or certificate granting program. Applicants are judged upon merit and need. The award shall be used for course tuition and academic fees.

The number and dollar value of awards vary. Most awards range from $1,000 to $3,000.

Several annual scholarships are awarded in addition to three named scholarships: the Kay Ross Scholarship, honoring the founder of the YUWO Scholarship Program; the Magee Fenn Scholarship, in memory of the first chair of the YUWO Scholarship Committee; and the Gustave and Carol Lynn Sirot Scholarship, which seeks a candidate 35 years or older.

To be eligible for scholarships, applicants must be a Yale employee or the spouse of a Yale employee. Students enrolled in Yale undergraduate or graduate programs, and current members of YUWO and their families, are not eligible for scholarships.
