The Ann Clark Scholarship Fund is to give local higher education students studying women’s studies, political science, public administration, ethnic studies, or other relevant topics an opportunity to attend experiential or immersion programs outside the regular education classroom. Such learning opportunities must align with LWV San Diego priorities: LWV San Diego, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues and influences public policy through education and advocacy. Our mission is empowering voters and defending democracy.
The Ann Clark Scholarship will award up to $2000 per fiscal year to a student or students attending higher education institutions in San Diego, Chula Vista, Coronado, El Cajon Imperial Beach, La Mesa, Lemon Grove, National City, Poway and Santee and in the unincorporated areas of San Diego County south of Highway 56 and Poway.
The League believes that such experiential or immersion opportunities are important to a student’s future development and bear enormous potential to make a difference in student’s lives.
The Ann Clark Scholarship is provided to San Diego area students both as an opportunity for the selected student and with the expectation that the experience provided will serve as an opportunity to build future involvement with the League’s work. Chosen student(s) will be asked to make a presentation of their experience to the LWVSD at a designated event or to submit a newsletter article.
Along with submitting the application, the student must upload a written recommendation from a professor in the relevant area of interest. Deadline for application submission is May 31, 2023. Applications will be reviewed in June with award to be announced by June 30, 2023.
