The Women’s College Club of Princeton (WCCP) held a tea to award scholarships on May 19 at the Morven Educational Center. Attendees included school counselors, family, and friends of recipients. WCCP received 29 applications and awarded scholarships to 20 young women totaling $49,000.
Since 1916, the principal mission of the WCCP has been to enable young women with financial need to go to college. The scholarship awards are made possible as a result of endowments, fundraisers and donations, including those made in honor of past or present members or to honor specific persons such as Barbara Hillier and Kathleen Hutchins. To date, these scholarship awards have totaled nearly $800,000.
The WCCP meets on the third Monday of the month (September to June) at the Stockton Education Center behind the Morven Museum. Meetings feature speakers and programs of multiple interests, such as art history and current affairs. WCCP also offers a variety of activities for smaller groups including walks, book club and trips to museums or other places of interest. Membership is open to all women.
