Zonta Club of Adelaide Inc: Jane M. Klausman Women in Business Scholarships
The Zonta International Foundation awarded the first Jane M. Klausman Women in Business Scholarships in 1998 to women pursuing an undergraduate degree in business leading to a business management career. This program was established from a bequest by Jane M. Klausman, a member of the Zonta Club of Syracuse, New York USA, and the 1990-1995 Zonta International Parliamentarian. During her career, Ms. Klausman was a professional secretary, parliamentarian and entrepreneur.
The Jane M. Klausman Women in Business Scholarships are awarded to women studying business at the undergraduate level who have demonstrated outstanding potential in the field. Zonta International offers twelve scholarships in the amount of US$7,000 each. The scholarship may be used at any university, college or institute offering accredited courses and degrees. Students must be registered to enter the third or fourth year of an undergraduate degree program (first university degree) when funds are received from Zonta International Headquarters in November. Previous Jane M. Klausman recipients may apply to renew the Scholarship for a second year and will undergo the same application and evaluation procedures.
