The CEW Scholarship Program

The CEW Scholarship Program for returning women students was established in 1970 to honor the academic performance and potential of women whose education has been interrupted and to commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of the admission of women to the University of Michigan.

Thanks to the generosity of individuals and foundations, CEW has awarded nearly 1300 scholarships since 1970. CEW Scholarship Awards are invaluable, since they often mean the difference between completing a degree or not doing so for many students at the University of Michigan. Due to the generosity of donors, CEW was able to expand the program in 2008 to include additional scholarships for male and female students on the Ann Arbor campus.

Eligibility Criteria

CEW Scholarship applicants must be attending the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, Flint, or Dearborn Campuses) during the year for which the scholarship is awarded. Be certain to check the complete list of criteria before applying for a scholarship.

Applications for the 2012-2013 academic year are now available. If you have any questions, please contact Jackie Johnson at jmjhsnon@umich.edu.
