Young Women in Public Affairs (YWPA) Scholarship

2018 YWPA Recipient Ashley Wu with Scholarship Co-Chairs Becky Larsen and Melissa Figge.

  

Though about 40% of the world’s workforce is women, according to data  from the Inter-Parliamentary Union, only 25.1% of all national  parliamentarians were female as of 1 October 2020. Because Zonta  International believes that young women are the key to women’s  advancement in the field of public service, it offers the Young Women in  Public Affairs (YWPA) Award, which recognizes young women, ages 16-19,  for demonstrating leadership skills and commitment to public service and  civic causes, and encourages them to continue their participation in  public and political life.


 Women, aged 16-19 on 1 April each year, studying at a secondary  school, college or university in a Zonta district/region, or who are  studying elsewhere but are citizens of a Zonta country, who demonstrate  evidence of the following, are eligible to apply. 

  •  Active commitment to volunteerism.     
  • Experience in local government, student government, or workplace leadership (paid or unpaid).     
  • Volunteer leadership achievements.     
  • Knowledge of Zonta International and its programs.     
  • Support in Zonta International's mission of empowering women worldwide through service and advocacy.


 Applications begin at the local club level.  Recipients of the Zonta Newport Harbor YWPA Scholarship receive $1,000 and are then promoted to the district level.  


Our club application is currently open, with all applications due by March 1st.  Please download the application and instructions below for more information and details about how to apply.  


If you have any questions or need assistance in completing your application, please email -  zcnhscholarships@gmail.com.
