Zonta Scholarships Available Again

The Zonta Club of Frankfort is now accepting applications for the 2022 Young Women in Public Affairs Award. Two $500 awards will be offered to women aged 16-19 (as of April 1, 2022) who are studying at a home school, secondary school, or college/university. The top applicant will also be considered for an additional $1,500 award at the Zonta District level, with the potential to be considered at the International level for a $5,000 award.

The Zonta International Young Women in Public Affairs Award Program looks to the young women of today to be the leaders of tomorrow.

Applicants should demonstrate a commitment to the volunteer sector, evidence of volunteer leadership achievements, and a dedication to empowering women worldwide through service and advocacy.
