SUNSHINE LADY Foundation Scholarship Program - The SUNSHINE LADY Foundation, Inc. is a private family foundation established in the fall of 1996 through the vision and determination of founder and President, Doris Buffett. Ms. Buffett has worked for many years on behalf of battered women and their children, as an advocate, fund-raiser, board member and community organizer. A primary focus of the Foundation is to continue, develop and enhance efforts to end domestic violence. Additional funding priorities of the Foundation include primary education, scholarships and families in crisis.

About the Scholarship:
The Women's Independence Scholarship Program (WISP) was created in 1999 to help formerly battered women overcome barriers to the education necessary for their becoming employable and financially stable. The primary intent is to help single mothers with young children who have the greatest financial challenges (childcare costs, etc.) to gain work skills so they can support their families. Our funds target women who are in desperate financial situations and absolutely must have both an education and our funds to assist them.

About Eligibility:
To be eligible to apply for this scholarship, the applicant must be a direct survivor of domestic violence (partner abuse). While we abhor abuse from any source, our effort is in assisting those women who are survivors of partner abuse.

They are now accepting applications for scholarships. More information on www.sunshineladyfdn.org or their FAQ at: www.sunshineladyfdn.org/faq.html
