Each year BPW/NJ offers Career Development Awards of up to $500 per person.   The awards are available for women ages 25 and above
who are seeking to advance their careers, reenter the workforce, or make a career change. An award may be used for education, or it may
be used to purchase a piece of equipment if the applicant has at least a fifty percent ownership in a small business.
Applications are available on the BPWNJ web site beginning February 10, 2011.

Local organizations are responsible for promoting the Career Development Scholarship Awards. A suggested press release will be made available on the web site at www.bpwnj.org.

Please note that applications do not have to be endorsed by the local organization. Locals can collect the applications and mail them to the state Scholarship Team, or they can have applicants mail the completed applications directly to the Team. Applications must be
returned to Scholarship Team Leader Jeanne Jameson by
April 15, 2011. If a local organization wishes to review the applications first, they must keep the state deadline in mind and set an earlier due date for applicants to return their applications to the LO. 

BPW members are needed to serve on the state selection
committee. If you would like to serve on the scholarship
selection committee, please contact Jeanne Jameson, at
jamjean@warwick.net.

The Career Development Scholarship Award recipients
will be announced at the State Conference in May, 2011.

Forms are found on the left side bar.  If submitting by e-mail, please include all supporting statements and schedules as an attachment.  All emails should be directed to jamjean@warwick.net
