The Woman's Club of Concord Annual $1,000 Scholarship is awarded to a college-bound, highly motivated and directed senior girl who is selected through an application process.

Interested applicants may download the application form from this site. Information can also be obtained from the guidance department at the three Concord Area public high schools: Concord, Bow and Merrimack Valley.

April 1st is the deadline for WCC scholarship applications to be submitted to the Woman's Club of Concord. The Woman's Club of Concord Scholarship Committee then reviews the applications and evaluates each applicant.

The finalists are selected to be interviewed. Interviews are scheduled for after mid-April at Chamberlin House, 44 Pleasant Street, Concord NH.

Of particular interest to the Scholarship Committee are the areas of:

  • Academic Achievement
  • Community Service/Involvement
  • Financial Need
  • Interest in Women's Issues
  • Leadership

The Woman’s Club of Concord Annual $1000 Scholarship final recipient is chosen based on the interview results and will be selected by May 1st.
A Scholarship Certificate is presented at the Woman’s Club of Concord June 1st Annual Meeting where she meets members of the club. The Woman's Club of Concord will notify the recipient's high school and send a press release to the Concord Monitor.

After completing her fall semester, the recipient briefs the Woman’s Club of Concord Scholarship Committee on her accomplishments for the term and includes a copy of her transcript. Once this report has been received and evaluated, the Woman's Club of Concord sends $1,000 directly to the recipient's school, to be applied to her second-semester tuition.
