WOMEN'S INDEPENDENCE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
The Women's Independence Scholarship Program (WISP) was created

with young children who have the greatest financial challenges
(childcare costs, etc.) to gain work skills so they can support
their families. Our funds target women who are in desperate
financial situations and absolutely must have both an education
and our funds to assist them. Limited to US citizens. Visit
