The St. Lawrence County Branch of AAUW is accepting applications through May 20 for the AAUW Named Scholarship.

It will be awarded to a female SUNY Canton student who is a permanent St. Lawrence County resident continuing her higher education by transitioning from a local two-year college program to an accredited four-year program. The scholarship is a one-time award of $1,000.

Applicants must have a GPA of at least 2.5 to apply.

Preference will be given to non-traditional aged women who show leadership and community service potential and are pursuing a degree in one of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) fields.

Application forms are available on the AAUW-St. Lawrence County website, http://www.northnet.org/stlawrenceaauw, and from Mary Bucher, Southworth Library, bucher@canton.edu.
