Book Scholarship

2008-09 Barbara S. Uehling Book Scholarship Application For Re-Entry/Non-Traditional Students

The UCSB Professional Women’s Association (PWA), with the support of the UCSB Bookstore, is pleased to announce the availability of book scholarships for re-entry/non-traditional students. PWA promotes the advancement of women at UCSB and serves as a voice for women in the discussion of campus issues. PWA’s goals include education, acknowledging women’s contributions to UCSB, mentoring, and outreach to the campus and community.

Five scholarships will be awarded in the amount of $200 gift certificates to the UCSB Bookstore.

The scholarships will be awarded to current UCSB re-entry/non-traditional students who face unique challenges in completing their degrees as they juggle being a student, parent, wage earner, community volunteer, and/or participant in co-curricular activities. UCSB defines a re-entry/non-traditional student as someone who is returning to his or her education after a period of time, and/or is married, and/or has dependents. The committee will choose the scholarship recipients based on a student’s application and financial need.

Completed applications must be received in the EOP Admin Office on the 2nd Floor of the SRB (Student Resource Building), no later than 5pm on Friday, November 21st, 2008.
