Our History
The Scholarship Foundation of The Woman's Club of Winter Park, Inc. was established in 1938. At that time, funds were raised from bridge parties, bake sales, flea markets, and fashion shows. Students were given small loans and paid them back when they could.
In 1973, the Scholarship Endowment Fund was established. Today it is funded by contributions and bequests from club members and by club fundraising events — a lasting investment in the next generation.
Purpose & Eligibility
High school seniors — female and male — from Orange and Seminole counties in Florida.
Each year, scholarships are awarded based on scholarship, leadership, and financial need.
In the past 10 years, scholarships have ranged from $800 to $3,000 per student, per year.
The purpose of the scholarship fund is to provide educational assistance to deserving female and male high school seniors from Orange and Seminole counties in Florida. A Renewal Grant is available: scholars may reapply one time only.
Dates & Deadlines
Applications are accepted from January 1 – March 2, 2026. Two printable forms are available: the First Time Scholarship Form 2026 and the One Time Renewal, 2026.
Each December, a special Scholarship Reception is held, where every recipient is invited to meet club members and share their experiences.
Funding Sources
The scholarship program is supported by the Endowment Fund, the Pauline Mossman and the Jenny Fernald Link Funds (held at the Central Florida Foundation), designated contributions from members and friends, and a grant from the Elizabeth Morse Genius Foundation.
Students from Orange and Seminole counties are invited to apply. Donors can help fund the next class of deserving recipients.
