Norwich Women's Club Education Scholarships

Application Deadline: February 11, 2026

 

Norwich students have received more than $800,000 in awards through the Norwich Women's Club Scholarship fund (formerly the Marion Cross Scholarship Fund) since 1964. The fund was originally named in honor of Marion Cross, a teacher and principal in Norwich for over 40 years.
 

Scholarships from the Norwich Women's Club are based on financial need. They are open to residents of Norwich who are pursuing post-secondary education or training at an accredited institution. The priority for NWC scholarships is for students just graduating from high school, but students and adults of all ages who can demonstrate financial need are encouraged to apply. 

Those interested in applying for NWC scholarships need to apply through VSAC (Vermont Student Assistance Corporation) and should obtain the VSAC Scholarship Booklet. For scholarships for the 2026-2027 academic year, the information is available here
