Eligible women must have a minimum 3.4 grade point average and demonstrate a commitment to the betterment of our campus, our community and, in particular, to the advancement of women. The selection committee, in addition to reviewing the application, letters of support and an essay by each applicant, conducts a personal interview before making its final selection.
