State Rep. Holli Sullivan (R-Evansville) and POWER, which is Indiana’s women’s caucus, recently presented awards to the 2018 POWER Scholarship winners.
According to Sullivan, president of the organization, the POWER Scholarship is awarded to non-traditional female students whose education was delayed or interrupted. A high priority is placed on women dedicated to giving back to their communities and have a desire for education that aligns with their passions.
“This year, POWER awarded a total of $18,000 in scholarships to 21 hardworking Hoosier women from across Indiana,†Sullivan said. “These women have a vision to succeed and a drive to finish their education, and these scholarships help ease the financial burden as they go back to school and advance their careers. Indiana is home to so many strong, smart women who can benefit from this program, expand their education and make a positive impact on our state.â€
Sullivan said over the last two years, POWER has awarded nearly $38,000 in scholarships to Hoosier women.
POWER is a bipartisan group of primarily female legislators who are interested in improving the quality of life for women and all citizens of Indiana.
