The Optical Women’s Association will once again award Leadership Scholarships to two OWA members for an amount of up to $2,000 each.
These grants are to be used for the professional and personal development of each recipient and are funded through the Individual Contributor donations. The purpose of the Leadership Scholarship is to offer a professional mentoring opportunity to OWA members, reward those who have volunteered their time and efforts to help the OWA reach its goals, and to promote the founding principles of the organization: to connect, inspire and lead future leaders.
Nominations for the 2025 scholarships will be accepted October 1-31, 2025. Self-nominations are allowed.
Please note the following criteria:
- Nominee must be a current member of the OWA.
- Nominee must have served on (or be actively serving on) an OWA Committee.
- Nominee must be nominated by a current OWA member.
Award recipients will be announced in November.
