Since 1976, the Jeannette Rankin Women's Scholarship Fund has been committed to empowering women to shine through education! We have provided more than $3 million in scholarships to more than 1,000 women all across the United States! We are working to provide a hand-up to women who are in pursuit of their post-secondary education, and with this we are seeing incredible success.
Over the last 42 years, 65% of JRF Scholars have completed their post-secondary degree! We are so impressed with the capabilities of these women, and their commitment to their educations. In comparison, the national graduation rate for this demographic is only 31%.
For the 2018-2019 academic year, 91% of JRF Scholars either graduated or continued on towards their degrees! This is a record number of Scholars persisting towards and completing their degrees!
