Tuolumne County Women’s Network Scholarship Applications

The Tuolumne County Women’s Network Scholarship Is designed to assist women returning to their educational goals who reside in Tuolumne County.

Claudia Puccinelli, TCWN Scholarship Chair, was Thursday’s KVML “Newsmaker of the Day”.

The scholarships are given twice a year, and the TCWN is currently accepting applications until October 1.

The Tuolumne County Women’s Network was organized to provide an opportunity for women in the business community to meet regularly in order to build their businesses through networking.
