CSW Committee on Scholarships/Fundraising:

2007-2008

CSW has decided to rename our Scholarship Fund to the Martha Portree Scholarship Fund in honor of our late friend, Martha Portree, who was a dedicated member of CSW.

This year the scholarship went to students, Joyce Ellis and Emily Munger--$500 each.

CSW Awards & Nominations

Since 2006, CSW has awarded women on campus or organizations that have made a significant or outstanding contribution to the advancement of women at NAU. We do this by selecting from nominations sent to us by the NAU community.  Nomination forms for the 2007-2008 Diversity and Equity Awards can be downloaded here (Form,  Directions to Complete Form).  Email us with your nominations at rks65@nau.edu.

In 2006-2007, the CSW Scholarship Selection Committee noted that there were many excellent candidates (single moms working full-time who were also full-time students in good academic standing) who were eligible for the CSW Scholarship. Due to a lack of funds we could only award this to two students. Please help us reward more women.

Donate directly to the CSW Scholarship Fund (# 4904) or to the CSW Discretionary Fund (# 4880). See http://www.advancement.nau.edu/forms/WEB_PR_Ded_Pledge_Form.pdf for the printable form OR http://www.advancement.nau.edu/ to give online.

On March 29, 2007, at the Diversity & Equity Banquet hosted by President Haegar, CSW  announced winners of the CSW Outstanding Achievement and Contribution Awards and the CSW Scholarships for 2006. Winners of the Scholarships were Christina Gaff and Fern Wesley, two students at NAU. Winners of the Awards were Lisa Downey and Laurie Kelley.

The Award Committee decided the winners in early March. The Scholarship Committee decide the winners soon after. This year there were many excellent candidates and the committees were regretful that they could only select two winners for each category.

The monetary prize for the CSW Scholarship was $500 each. The CSW Award winners will receive a plaque from CSW and a gift-certificate from NAU Bookstore.

Unfortunately, it is an invitations only event, but we do invite everyone at NAU to send their nominations for the CSW Outstanding Achievement and Contributions Award. See below for forms and directions.

CSW also offers Scholarships of $500 to two single moms working full-time who were also full-time students in good academic standing. The CSW Scholarship Selection Committee selects winners, and this is not open to the public.
