To empower and support the education of non-traditional women students in Indiana, the Indiana House Republican Caucus has sponsored an interesting funding scheme named “Power Scholarship”. The primary mission of this program is to make available financial help for those women in Indiana whose education was delayed or interrupted by their financial circumstances. This program will recognize and reward those women who give back to their communities and whose goals and desires for education align with their passions. To reserve a seat in this funding program, applicants need to be currently a resident of the state of Indiana and accepted into a program of study at an educational institution in the state of Indiana, as evidenced by proof of acceptance. The age requirement of the program is that all aspirants must be at least 25 years old as of the date of the postmark of the application.
The best part of this program is that it will grant students the opportunity to receive financial support equally irrespective of their race, color, religion, national origin, and/or physical impairment. Every woman who meets the criteria of the scholarship and is in dire need of financial assistance can avail of this opportunity. This scheme is exclusively available for those women who are residents of the state of Indiana and who are pursuing their educational endeavors in the state of Indiana. Whether you want to change/advance your career or just a stay-at-home mom entering the workplace, who is in need of additional education/training, this scholarship program will suit your need and aid you in overcoming your financial struggles, and make a way for you.
Indiana House Republican Caucus has been serving as a forum for discussion of legislative measures presented in the Indiana General Assembly by having a major forum primarily for women legislators inspired to improve the quality of life for women and all citizens of Indiana.
