From its early beginnings, EWI has always been committed to promoting community involvement and professional development among its members. In 1974, EWI participated in a community project to encourage the development of careers in business among high school students. Enthusiastically embraced by chapters throughout the organization, the program quickly grew and developed into what is now known as the Business/Career/Development Program. Today, B/C/DP is a renowned nonprofit organization offering scholastic assistance under the following scholarship programs:

• Executive Women International Scholarship Program (EWISP)
• Adult Students in Scholastic Transition Program (ASIST)

The Executive Women International Scholarship Program has been helping high school juniors achieve their academic goals for over 25 years. Recognized by Money magazine as one of the top 12 scholarship opportunities in the United States, EWISP allows selected students to compete at both the EWI chapter and EWI corporate levels for scholarships.

Qualifications:

• The scholarship is open to all high school juniors in public, private and parochial schools in the areas served by EWI chapters. (For a list of all chapter locations, visit the EWI corporate website at www.executivewomen.org)
• Students must use their award toward earning a four-year degree at an accredited college or university. (Students may attend a two-year accredited college, but only as the initial step in the pursuit of a four-year degree.)
• Students must be nominated either by their school or by a teacher. Nominations are accepted between October and January.

Judging Criteria:

Students are judged on their application materials, oral and written communication skills, creativity, scholastic records, involvement in extracurricular activities, leadership qualities, awards and honors, citizenship, attitude and clearly defined career goals.
