Scholarships
The Island Estates Women’s Club is very proud of their commitment to the community and education. Every year since 1997, the IEWC has awarded college scholarships to deserving local high school girls. The club established a charitable trust for this purpose in 2012. In 2013, The Rita O’Neil Memorial Scholarship Fund, in association with the IEWC Scholarship Foundation, was created within the charitable trust to honor the memory of member Rita O’Neil. In 2016, The Marie Wadsworth Memorial Scholarship Fund, in association with the IEWC Scholarship Found, was created to honor the memory of club member and President Marie Wadsworth. The I.E.W.C. is proud to continue to support education and local students in their college studies. To date the IEWC has distributed over 70 Scholarships!
In December of each year Scholarship applications will be available to young ladies graduating from Clearwater High School. Applications are due back by mid-March of that year. The application packages will be sent to Clearwater High School Guidance Counselors, Clothes To Kids, posted on this IEWC website and available by contacting the IEWC Chairperson Mrs. Lisa Oliver at 314-651-1015.
Each applicant must complete the entire application which consists of community service, awards, need, essays, current transcripts and two recommendations.
