LEXINGTON, Ky. (Aug. 8, 2016) Applications are now being accepted for the University of Kentucky Women’s Forum Employee Educational Assistance Award.

The deadline for Fall 2016 applications is Aug. 28. Applicants must be regular, full-time employees (0.75 FTE or greater) and have submitted an EEP form. Please visit the UK Women's Forum website to find out more information regarding requirements and the selection process.

“I am deeply honored and humbled by the Women’s Forum for considering my application,” said a previous award recipient. “I cannot express how helpful this award is, especially after some unexpected expenses for course materials came up.
