(DON PEASLEY PHOTOGRAPHY) At the February meeting of the McHenry Business and Professional Women, Ilaverne Gregory explained that the Career Advancement Scholarship program of the B.P.W. would like to receive more applications from mature women in non-degree programs-women who need a "short course" in court reporting, insurance, medical records administration, paramedical training, executive housekeeping, or hundreds of other fields. The Career Advancement Scholarship program was created to assist the woman who has been out of school for some years and needs ad­ ditional training to return to the job market, to improve her chances for a promotion in her field, or to change careers. If a woman is returning to college for the few credits needed to receive an undergraduate or graduate degree, she would also qualify under this scholarship program. A total of $254,113 has been distributed during the four years in which these scholarships have been offered to women, and this year it is hoped a McHenry woman will receive a grant. For more information, women may contact Mrs. Frank Gregory or Mrs. David Benrud.
