introduction
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Woman of Wonder
The quality of a woman’s life is affected by internal and external resources. Resources, such as knowledge, training and honed skills, are vital to a woman seeking parity in today’s world. Add the challenge of paying for college to gain that next career step with the responsibility of supporting and caring for a family and you have seemingly insurmountable odds. Woman of Wonder seeks to level the playing field with scholarships that bridge the gap between everyday duties of a woman’s life and a chance to develop a rewarding career. In its first year and a half, Woman of Wonder acquired office space, secured grants for office software and marketing, started a books to textbooks program and received donations. Women of Wonder’s mission resonated with enough community members for us to award our first scholarships Summer 2019.
The internal fortitude to continue to seek a college degree despite, in some cases overwhelming odds, amazed us as we read our first applications. The external resources of a community that believes in the power of education is changing the lives of the women we support, and it will stabilize the families they support.
Join our mission with your donation, today.

SUMMARY
Woman of Wonder
Summer 2019 first college scholarships awarded As we move forward, encouraging more women, opening more doors, and lighting more paths, we are grateful to the many who joined our Founders Club by making contributions which resulted in our first scholarship awards Spring 2019. This support of women, as they pursue avenues to increase their earning potential and workplace marketability, benefits all of us. Award recipients learn that someone believes in them — and invests in that belief.
We can’t predict who will finish their degrees, or who may stumble, but we move forward with confidence that increasing the chances of degree completion has payoffs more than dollars and cents. Please, consider being part of this educational legacy. Build a better community and stronger families by supporting college scholarships for women.
Children are mentored as they watch their parent set a goal and achieve it.
