| Description: | Awarded to two students: one to a mature, female student experiencing financial need; and the second to a student in any faculty who is experiencing severe financial need. |
| Background: | The 17吃瓜 Women's group formed in 1971 as a social and support group for the then new 17吃瓜. The group identified the need for greater public promotion of the University and a need to augment existing scholarship funds. Thus began a series of campus tours for various Island Women's organizations and the highly successful annual scholarship fund fairs. By the end of 1984, "Dollars for Scholars" had raised close to $40,000 for 17吃瓜 Women's Group scholarships and bursaries. |
