Barron and Shirley Smith Seaton Scholarships, named for the organization’s founder and a distinguished charter member respectively.

Annually, NC100BW Greater Cleveland Chapter awards scholarships to graduating young women from area high schools in recognition of their commitment to academic excellence and service to the Greater Cleveland community. In the past six years alone the organization has provided scholarships to 19 students and awarded over $17,000.00 towards their college education. Scholarship recipients have attended a cross-section of local and national colleges and universities including, but not limited to, Yale University (New Haven, CT); Miami University (Oxford, OH); Dillard University (New Orleans, LA); and John Carroll University (Cleveland, OH).

“As the increasing cost of a college education becomes more overwhelming each year for young women and their families it only strengthens our chapter’s commitment to provide scholarships to deserving students,” says Elizabeth A. Jones, president of NC100BW Greater Cleveland Chapter. “Education has been an advocacy priority of our chapter since its founding and we remain steadfast in helping young women reach their full potential as change agents in our community,” she continued.

Applications for the NC100BW Greater Cleveland Chapter’s 2017 scholarships are open to graduating high school female seniors planning to attend a four year accredited college or university. The deadline for consideration is February 4, 2017. Scholarships will be awarded at the organization’s annual Woman of Vision luncheon on March 18, 2017.  Complete scholarship packets are available upon request.  Inquiries should be directed to the attention of Andrea Porter at National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Greater Cleveland Chapter, P.O.
