Scholarships for Students

Novi Oaks Charter Chapter has awarded scholarships every year since its founding in 1990. In 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022, with the support of friends, family, and many area businesses, we awarded two $2,000 Impact Scholarships through the ABWA national Stephen Bufton Memorial Educational Fund.

​

Women who live in Michigan and who meet the requirements may apply for the two $2,000 Impact Scholarships each year, beginning in December. The deadline for applications including official transcripts and three letters of reference is May 15th. The full guidelines and instructions for applying for the 2022 scholarships (deadline now past) may be downloaded by clicking the red button here. Guidelines for 2023 will be similar.
