In keeping with its long-standing tradition of helping women succeed, the Talbots Charitable Foundation is proud to present the 2010 Talbots Scholarship Foundation and the inaugural Nancy Talbot Scholarship Award for perseverance and ingenuity, which is presented in memory of the founder of Talbots. This program empowers women to enrich themselves through learning and achieve a college education later in life.
Completely re-imagined, the Talbots Scholarship Foundation will award $180,000 in college scholarships for the 2010 academic year, including up to 10 $15,000 scholarships and one $30,000 scholarship to an extraordinary finalist demonstrating courage, conviction and an insatiable entrepreneurial spirit.
Applications are available online at https://www.scholarshipamerica.org/talbotswomen starting Monday, October 5, 2009. The deadline for applications is Saturday, January 2, 2010. Only the first 5,000 eligible applications received will be processed.
We hope you'll join us in spreading the word about this unique scholarship program for women.
