Jane M. Klausman Women In Business Scholarship

The Jane M. Klausman Women in Business Scholarship is awarded annually to single moms pursuing degrees in business administration (undergraduate or master’s). The scholarship was established in 1998 through the generous endowment from Jane M. Klausman, a member of the Zonta Club of Syracuse, New York USA, and 1990-1995 Zonta International Parliamentarian. The scholarship is awarded through the income generated by the Jane M. Klausman endowment and by generous contributions from Zontians, Zonta clubs and friends of Zonta.

The program operates at different levels: Zonta club, district/region and international levels. Zonta clubs provide awards for club recipients. Zonta International, which has as mission to advance the status of women worldwide, awards scholarships of US$1,000 each at the district/region level and twelve international scholarships in the amount of US$7,000 each.

The Jane M. Klausman Women in Business Scholarships are awarded annually and may be used for tuition, books or living expenses at any university, college or institution offering accredited business courses and degrees.
