The Cape Cod Chapter of the American Business Women’s Association (ABWA) is looking for scholarship applications. In 2010, the ABWA plans to fund four scholarships of $1,500 each.

Women interested in obtaining a scholarship should be residents of Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket and have reached at least their second semester in an accredited College, Vocational School or Technical School with a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or more.

Applicants do not need to be majoring in business and they do not need to be affiliated with ABWA. Friends and family members of ABWA members are eligible.
