Applications and all required supporting documents received after the deadline will not be considered.
The UKWC Scholarship Committee will review the applications for final selection before the end of the spring semester. Finalists will attend a personal interview with the committee. The decisions of the UK Woman’s Club are final following the selection process.
The UKWC has funded many activities benefitting UK students since it was founded in 1909. Since 1973, the UKWC Aid Fund has provided 313 undergraduate scholarships totaling $932,000. The club looks forward to assisting more UK students with their academics in 2024-25.
With a rich tradition of more than 100 years of service, the UKWC provides a welcoming and enriching environment for people to be part of a group committed to supporting the campus and its students.
