For the Jane M. Klausman Women in Business Scholarship we’re looking for a few good women college students to apply June 15th!
Submitted by Elisa Adams

It’s time to reach out to young college women who are studying business and let them know about Zonta’s Jane M. Klausman Women in Business Scholarships, which our club helps to fund through our contribution to ZI.

The Jane M. Klausman award was established to encourage women to enter careers and seek leadership positions in business-related fields. The program’s ultimate purpose is to seek to influence business decisions that positively affect women by increasing the number of women in executive positions in business management. What could be closer to Zonta’s goals?

Any woman undertaking a business and/or business-related program at an accredited university/college/institute and living or studying in a Zonta region/district, in at least the second year of an undergraduate program through the final year of a Master’s program at the time the application is submitted to the district, may be considered.

District-level winners receive $1,000, and twelve international winners receive $5,000 each. We can make a real difference in a young woman’s life, and perhaps inspire a future Zontian, by encouraging eligible women to apply for this award. The application and full information are online at http://www.zonta.org/WhatWeDo/InternationalPrograms/JaneMKlausmanWomenInBusinessScholarship.aspx

Applications should be sent to our club post office box (Zonta Club of Long Island Attn: Elisa Adams, PO Box 53, Garden City, NY 11530) by June 15th for processing. It would be an honor for our club to nominate a district award recipient, or even an international winner!
