Scholarships and Awards

The following are scholarships and awards offered by the Women's Studies program at IPFW.

Marthe Rosenfeld/Mary Lee Richenson Scholarship

The Marthe Rosenfeld/Mary Lee Richeson Scholarship fund was established in 1993 to provide financial support to students conducting research in areas under represented in Women’s Studies scholarship. Areas of research may include:

  • women in science
  • women of color
  • lesbian studies
  • women with disabilities
  • older women

We would like to award two scholarships each academic year. Lesbian studies is the designated area of research for one of the two scholarships available. Projects focusing on any of the other areas are invited and will be considered for the second scholarship. Students who meet the following guidelines are encouraged to submit proposals.

Funds awarded may be used to cover necessary materials, services, and tuition payments as listed in the proposal budget. These guidelines were approved by the Women’s Studies Steering Committee on February 9, 1994.
