Deadline for NOW Scholarship

March 12th is just a week away. If you are applying for this scholarship,you should have already started writing your personal essay. This statement will focus on answering the question on women's issues. For some of you this may present a problem because there is a strong slant toward women's reproductive rights.

Do not compromise your personal beliefs. You must write with conviction and that is difficult to accomplish if it goes against your values. Although $1500 is hard to pass up if there is a strong financial need, many are divided on abortion. Follow your heart and conscience and apply only if you support the views of the National Organization of Women.

Remember that this application is open to guys so don't disqualify yourself because this is a women's organization.

Let me know if I can help you before you submit your application.
