Sedona News – For over 48 years, the University Women of Sedona’s primary purpose has been to provide financial scholarships and support to women in furthering their educational opportunities to an accredited local college or university. The deadline for applications for these life-changing scholarships for 2025-26 is fast approaching. Applications are due April 1.
Applicants must be a permanent resident of the Verde Valley area; be a woman re-entering or continuing her education; be registered at of the Northern Arizona colleges (Yavapai College/Clarkdale or Sedona campuses, Coconino Community College, Northern Arizona University); show financial need; and, have a G.P.A of 3.0 or better. Students who are either full-time or part-time may apply.
Application forms are available at uwsedona.weebly.com/scholarships or upon request and are simple to complete and submit. An insightful personal statement about the applicant’s plans, goals, life experiences or personal circumstances is very helpful to the scholarship committee in making its decision.
Financial aid officers at each eligible institution may also submit equivalent application forms from their files for candidates.
The University Women of Sedona Scholarship Committee will review all applications and notify each scholarship recipient and her college at the end of May 2025 of her award.
