Scholarship

The Scholarship Foundation of The Woman’s Club of Winter Park, Inc. was established in 1938. At that time, funds were raised from bridge parties, bake sales, flea markets and fashion shows. Students were given small loans and paid them back when they could. In 1973, the Scholarship Endowment Fund was established and is now funded by contributions and bequests from club members and club fund raising events. The purpose of the scholarship fund is to provide educational assistance to deserving female and male high school seniors from Orange and Seminole counties in Florida. Each year, scholarships are awarded based on scholarship, leadership and financial need. The size of the awards is based on the number of qualified candidates each year and the amount available from income from the Endowment Fund, the Pauline Mossman and the Jenny Fernald Link Funds held at the Central Florida Foundation, contributions specifically designated for the current fiscal year scholars, and a grant from the Elizabeth Morse Genius Foundation. In the past 10 years, the scholarships have ranged from $800 to $3,000 per student per year. In December a special Scholarship Reception is held; each scholarship recipient is invited to come and meet the club members and share their experiences.
