University Women Scholarship for Non-Traditional Women

University Women has established a scholarship for a "non-traditional" (i.e., outside the 18-22 age range)  female student at BGSU.  Applicants need to be currently enrolled at BGSU (have established an academic record) and demonstrate financial need.  Any major course of study is acceptable.  Applications for the 2009 scholarship are due by April 10, 2009. The winner will be notified by the end of the academic school year.  A formal announcement will follow at the Fall Brunch in September.

The 2009-2010 scholarship recipient is Darcy Cook.  She is a senior majoring in Biology.  In her personal and career goal statement she wrote: "After working in the dental field for the last eleven years, I realized an important aspect of my personality; I tend to always want more or to advance myself.  Because of this, I decided to return to college and become a dentist.  After graduating from Bowling Green, I plan on attending The Ohio State University or another college of dentistry to complete the task of becoming a dentist.  After completion of dental school, I will return to my hometown area to either start or join a dental practice & do what I can to improve the economy & health of the area."

We wish her much success in reaching her career goals.
