The Athena A.C.E. Association is now accepting applications for its 2025 scholarship, aimed at supporting women over the age of 25 who are pursuing further education. The application deadline is June 1.
Women residing in Seneca, Yates, or Eastern Ontario counties are eligible to apply, provided they will be enrolled in an educational program by September 30. The scholarship is designed to remove barriers for women returning to school by funding a wide range of needs, from tuition and certifications to childcare, transportation, and technology.
The Athena A.C.E. Scholarship may be used for associate, bachelor’s, master’s, or doctorate degrees, as well as for TASC programs, licenses, certifications, and program-related expenses like laptops and materials.
The award is rooted in the mission of Athena International and seeks applicants who exemplify professional excellence, creativity, community service, and a commitment to helping other women succeed.
One or more scholarships will be awarded. Interested applicants can apply online at athenaace.org/apply. Applications may also be submitted by email to [email protected] or mailed to Athena A.C.E. Association, P.O. Box 744, Geneva, NY 14456. The association encourages anyone with questions to reach out via email.
