Stevenson Partnership with AWE

My idea for the grant starts with a representative from Stevenson University going speak with Asylee Women Enterprises’ director to see what their biggest need is before the semester begins. Depending on what their biggest need is, Stevenson will offer a service scholarship to one person in the needed department. The grant will then pay for one class in full (normally around $600 for a class) for the recipient of the scholarship and in return the student will need to provide assistance at AWE at least 2 hours a week. An example of this would be if AWE’s biggest need was for legal assistance, Stevenson University would offer the scholarship to a legal studies major. The student chosen for the scholarship would then have to teach classes or help individuals with legal matters relating to immigration during their 2 hours per week at AWE. Another example would be if their biggest need was for teaching English. Stevenson University could offer the scholarship to an English major or a teaching major, where they would have to teach English during their time spent at AWE every week.
