Adult Student Scholarships for Fall 2000

Back to Advancement & Community College Relations homepage

"I feel very fortunate in being a part of the College of Continuing Studies. It is often difficult to balance my teaching career and academic pursuits with my responsibilities as a wife and mother. Weekend classes allowed me to continue my education without disrupting my work and home schedule, and I have received two adult student scholarships from the College of Continuing Studies which have really helped me financially."
