Scholarship Opportunities
A gift was made by the London Bridge Republican Women's club in memory of their member Kathy Hodel.
The Arizona Federation of Republican Women (AzFRW) state scholarships recipients are determined by the AzFRW Scholarship Committee who also evaluate the applications for the NFRW scholarships. Only one candidate from each state may be submitted for the NFRW Scholarships. AzFRW scholarship solicitations are posted at Arizona's colleges and universities in the Spring announcing the funding of the Laura Bush Scholarship for the current academic year. The committee eagerly looks forward to the evaluation process each year as the applicants are always outstanding!
