Opportunity:

A valuable part of the National Foundation for Women Legislators (NFWL) mission is connecting women leaders of today with women leaders of tomorrow.  As a successful and experienced woman leader, you are no doubt aware that you are in a prime position to reach out and mentor women leaders of the future.

Each year, to fulfill this key mission, NFWL partners with the National Rifle Association to sponsor an academic scholarship.  Winners receive a $3,000 college scholarship and an-expense-paid trip to attend NFWL’s Annual Conference.  At the Conference, these young ladies speak, receive leadership training, and network with lawmakers.  For several winners in prior years, their NFWL scholarship made the difference in funding their attendance at college.  Nearly all winners have found their passion for public leadership ignited or strengthened. 

This year, the eighteenth annual Bill of Rights Essay Contest of NFWL and the National Rifle Association will award six female high school juniors and seniors with a $3,000 college scholarship.  The six winners will receive a trip to the 2015 NFWL Annual Conference, September 11-15 in Oklahoma City, OK.  The recommending legislators of the awardees will also receive an NFWL travel scholarship to the Conference and are invited to attend the entire conference with their student.

Please distribute the attached application to female high school juniors and seniors individually, through the schools, and/or through the media, so they can take advantage of this excellent opportunity. The application deadline is Friday, June 12th, 2015, by which essays must be submitted via email.  


If you have any questions, please feel free to email Meghan Cusick at meghan@womenlegislagtors.org We look forward to working with you and young women from your district!
