The Junior Women's League of Smithfield is pleased to offer two membership scholarships for the 2019-2020 league year, in an effort to promote inclusivity for league members. The purpose of membership scholarships is to create opportunity for those women in our community who would like to make a difference in the community but cannot join the League due to financial hardship.
Eligible applicants are individuals eligible for league membership with a financial hardship, such that the financial costs of being a member of the JWL may be a deterrent for joining the League.
The deadline to apply for a membership scholarship is July 19.
If you have questions about becoming a member, please email jwlsmithfield@gmail.com.
