Eligible women must be 25 years old or older and planning to attend an accredited college or university in the U.S. or Canada. They must be U.S. or Canadian citizens. To apply, candidates must complete a 500-word essay that explains the reasons for applying for the scholarship, how the funds will be used, and how the scholarship award will help them with their education and career goals.
The scholarship is sponsored by author Linda Lael Miller, author of contemporary and historical stories that were on national bestsellers lists and won her numerous awards. Enduring her own struggles to become a writer, Linda established the scholarship to help other women succeed through education.
One winner per year will receive a scholarship award. Winners have included women from all walks of life who have struggled with obstacles that include disabilities, victims of domestic violence, single parents and older women, all of whom demonstrated a strong desire to pursue their dreams to complete their education.
