Zonta International is awarding over $480,000/year on these scholar-/fellow- ships. District 12 chips in with $1,000/year (for YWPA & JMK combined) from the District Scholarship Fund. Currently not all District 12 Clubs participate in these scholarship programs. District 12 Zonta Clubs are encouraged to appoint a Club Scholarship Committee, whose members can approach school officials directly in their own community or in nearby areas where there are no Zonta Clubs. If a Club receives an inquiry but does not participate in these scholarship programs, it should refer the applicant to a nearby club that does. Let's enable students from the communities within District 12 to be in the running for these awards, scholarships, & fellowships, and let's get the word out about these great Zonta programs.
