The University Women's Club Scholarship was established in 1915 and is the oldest continuing scholarship at the University of Kansas. More than 171 women have benefited from UWC scholarships.

The first scholarship awarded was for $100 and that amount continued until 1950, when the award was doubled. In the 1970s, scholarships of $500, $600, and $700 were divided between two recipients and given annually.

In 1985, the University Women's Club Scholarship fund was endowed. The endowment continues to grow through generous support from members of the University Women's Club. Scholarships are awarded annually and the earnings of the endowment determine the amount given.

Congratulations to the 2008-2009 University Women's Club scholarship recipients!
