Awards to total $5,000 annually

Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, March 9, 2009

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Women in the Home Industries Today is accepting nominations from educational institutions and members for student candidates for its Jena and Stephen Hall Scholarship awards totaling $5,000 annually.

Winners for the 2009-10 school year will be announced Aug. 12 during the annual WithIt WOW Awards Gala at the Embassy Suites Hotel Resort and Conference Center Charlotte in Concord, N.C.

Applications are available online at www.withit.org/ and must be completed and postmarked by April 20.

WithIt, an industry organization dedicated to the support and development of professional women, raises funds through its scholarship foundation established in 1997. Awards are based on students' academic performance and on essays, references and a statement of personal goals.

Last year's winners were Catherine Claire Keane, a Meredith College student in Raleigh, N.C., and Shannon Rae Peterson, a then rising junior at Appalachian State University in Boone, N.C. Both are interior design program majors and their WithIt scholarship funds were applied toward tuition and expenses.

In 2007, the Foundation kicked off its campaign to raise $100,000 by 2009 in order to provide more scholarships for qualified candidates. Individuals and companies in the home furnishings industries are encouraged to make tax-deductible donations and gifts.

For additional information, visit www.withit.org or contact Sara Lyke, executive director, at (336) 880-2188, or director@withit.org.
