The Blacksburg Junior Women’s Club (BJWC) is a nonprofit organization of women who share a common desire to serve the community while building and enjoying lasting friendships. The BJWC is part of the oldest and one of the world's largest volunteer organizations, the General Federation of Women's Clubs (GFWC) and the Virginia Federation of Women's Clubs (VFWC). GFWC programs and projects focus on the major issues of our time—supporting women’s health, preserving natural resources, promoting literacy and equality, and encouraging volunteer service—and fall into the following areas of focus: arts, conservation, education, home life, international affairs, and public affairs. The Blacksburg Junior Women’s Club seeks to identify the needs in our area and to strive to meet those needs, specifically those involving women and children. Three college scholarships, one for $500 and two for $250, are available for a graduating high school senior who has demonstrated strong participation in local community service activities that fall into one or more GFWC areas of interest. It is our hope that this scholarship will be a way to encourage students of great promise to continue with their involvement in community service. The scholarship can be used towards college tuition, books, and fees. The funds will be sent directly to the recipient’s college of choice. It is required that the recipient attends college the fall semester after receiving the award. If the student does not, she will be responsible for reimbursing the BJWC for the full amount of the scholarship. Since COVID we have moved to an online submission process, applications can be submitted digitally to the club email [email protected].
