Scholarship Funds

The University Women's Club supports three funds:  The UWC Scholarship Fund, the Marjorie K. Fawcett Scholarship Fund and the Nina Weigel Scholarship fund.  These funds are administered through the University Development office, which also makes the selection of recipients. 

Here are the recipients for 2009 that were able to come to lunch.

The UWC Scholarship Fund was established July, 1979, by the University Women's Club, is funded primarily by Buckeye Bargains, our on-campus thrift shop, established in 1966, and member donations. 

The Marjorie K. Fawcett Scholarship Fund was established by the UWC in March, 1971, in honor of Marjorie Fawcett, wife of then President Novice G. Fawcett, in appreciation of her continuing inspiration and assistance to the Club.  Mrs. Fawcett was key in the establishment of Buckeye Bargains and obtaining shop space.

The Nina Weigel Scholarship Fund was established September, 1981, in memory of Nina Weigel, wife of prominent Music Department Dean, Eugene J. Weigel.  Each year, the Music Group of The University Women's Club provides two scholarships to women undergraduate music majors in the School of Music of the College of Arts.
