"I think this scholarship offers a great opportunity to help pay for college," Rep. Kay said. "Unfortunately, college has become increasingly expensive over the years and many people can't afford to go which hurts their ability to get a good job. This scholarship could help many people get the education needed to strive in today's economy."
For more information on the scholarship and to obtain an application, visit the Conference of Women Legislators' website at http://cowlil.com/scholarship.htm. All application materials must be returned to COWL by March 31, 2014.
