Harrisburg Executive Women International (EWI) is pleased to announce the 2010 Adult Students in Scholastic Transition Scholarship Program (ASIST). This ASIST scholarship award program is part of EWI’s International Business Career Development Scholarship Program. The award recipients of our chapter’s scholarship (the Cackovic-Taylor Scholarship) are individuals who must demonstrate a financial need, be socially, physically of economically disadvantaged adults, heads of households with small children, or displaced homemakers, and who are pursuing a career path of their choice which is designed to enhance their opportunities in continuing, or in some cases, returning to the workforce. The awards are distributed directly to the educational providers relating to the respective award recipient.

Funds for this scholarship are raised through various chapter fund raisers throughout the year, and are supplemented by the financial support of our member firms, our representatives, and other solicited sponsors throughout the Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry and York County communities. The minimum scholarship award is $2,000. EWI will be distributing two awards this year.
