The Talbots Scholarship Program
The Talbots Scholarship Program awards one-time scholarships to women
who want to go back to school to earn their undergraduate degree after
graduating from high school or receiving their GED at least ten years
ago. Applicants must demonstrate financial need.
Applicants may use the scholarship in the freshman, sophomore, junior or
senior year of college. They may choose a two-year technical college or
four-year university and attend either part-time or full-time. Students
must be U.S. citizens and also female.
The Talbots Scholarship Program is funded by the Talbots Charitable
Foundation, a non-profit organization established in 1997. The
scholarship program focuses on helping women receive a college degree
later in life. The age range of women who have been helped through the
program varies from 20's to 60's.
More than 600 women have been able to go to college with the help of the
Talbots Scholarship Program. The program has awarded over $1.6 million
in scholarships since it began in 1997.
Talbots is a leading women's traditional clothing retailer specializing
in women 35 and older. The store began in 1947 and has grown to 580
stores in 47 states, as well as Canada and the District of Columbia.
The deadline for this scholarship is usually in JANUARY of each year, and the award amount is usually $1,000 - $10,000.
