What is the Norwich Women''s Club Scholarship?

Norwich has funded local students through the Women''s Club for decades, long before college prices climbed the way they have now. The club runs the awards, VSAC handles the paperwork, and the same February deadline applies as every other booklet scholarship.

You do not need a perfect GPA story here. Need and essay #1 carry the file. Mention the Woodworth Scholarship only if your volunteer work actually changed something in town, not if you showed up twice for credit hours. Awards spread from $500 to $6,000 across roughly ten seats, so a tight essay beats a vague one.

Adults welcome. Certificate programs welcome. Part-time enrollment welcome. What is not flexible is residency: Norwich has to be your town on the USA. Link FAFSA early, enter NWCLUB, and treat February 11 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern as final.
