GFWC BRANDON SERVICE LEAGUE, INC. SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
The General Federation of Women’s Club Brandon Service League, Inc. annually awards two scholarships to graduating seniors in the Brandon area. A third scholarship is available to adult women who need further education or training to re-enter the work force or to improve their professional skills. The scholarships are not a full scholarship.
