careers or reenter the workforce. Primary consideration is given to
women of color and women pursuing their first advanced degree or
credentials in nontraditional fields.

degree was received before June 30, 2012. Funds are available for
tuition, fees, books, supplies, local transportation, and dependent

including a master’s degree, second bachelor’s degree, certification
program, or specialized training in technical or professional fields.
Course work must be taken at an accredited two- or four-year college or
university in the United States or at a technical school that is fully
licensed or accredited by the U.S. Department of Education. Funds are
not available for doctorate-level work.
