The University Women’s Club est. 1900
Scholarships for University of Kansas women since 1915
In 1915, the University Women’s Club at the University of Kansas began an annual scholarship donation project among the membership to honor meritorious women students. The club was then known as the Ladies of the Faculty, having been formed in May of 1900. It was organized to help women take advantage of the educational, cultural and social heritage of KU. We have met continuously since 1900 for friendship and to be of service to the University.
Since 1915, more than 280 outstanding women have been awarded a UWC scholarship. We are the oldest scholarship-granting organization at KU. In April 2005, the 90th year recipients shared in the pleasure of knowing our history will be at Sesquicentennial Point in meaningful ways.
The history of Lawrence and its university speaks of dedication to worthy goals for town and gown alike. We believe our award recipients have been ambassadors on campus and for Lawrence itself, past and present.
