Martha Yates Scholarship for Adult Women

The Martha Yates Scholarship is offered by the AAUW (American Association of University Women) Marco Island Branch to support adult women pursuing higher education. This $1,000 scholarship is designed for women who are 21 or older and are either starting or returning to an accredited college or university. The scholarship is available to women who live or work on Marco Island, Isles of Capri, or in Goodland, Florida. Candidates are evaluated based on their past academic performance and ability, their educational goals and interests, and their level of financial need. The scholarship aims to advance educational opportunities for women in the local community and remove barriers to higher education for adult learners.
