Mission:  The Center for Equity & Engagement promotes equal access and retention support services for women, students of color and other traditionally underrepresented student groups.

 

The Women's Center, which is housed in the Center for Equity & Engagement offers free services to those considering returning to college after a significant time away or those who feel they need additional support and advice in making the transition into higher education.

 

We'll meet with you one-on-one to learn more about you and your personal needs. Together we'll explore campus and community resources-other campus departments, local organizations, and agencies that may provide financial assistance for childcare, utilities, basic needs, and searching for scholarships.

Scholarship Search

Completing the FAFSA- Free Application for Federal Student Aid - is an important step to finding funding for school. It is often an essential part of a scholarship application. We can assist you with interpreting and completing the FAFSA. We also understand that not all students are eligible to apply for federal financial aid. Other resources may be available to assist you. Come chat with us to discuss options.

 

Searching for scholarships, (finding money to help with school expenses) requires significant time and effort. We are available to meet one-on-one with you to discuss the scholarship search process. Here are a few resources to help get you started:
